I was browsing the blog sites when I came across this article http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/13/compaq-cq61-does-15-6-inch-screen-and-real-processor-for-399/
I have to admit I am quite interested in this system and if it runs cool enough it would make a very nice alternative to my power hogging PC when I just want to do internet stuff.
I expected the CPU to be some single core 65nm random name like many other cheap laptops. However the info I am getting on this core is very limited.
AMD Sempron M100 seems AMD is relying more on more on recognition from its desktop cores to sell notebook cores but that is besides the point. The point is there is almost no solid info I can find on this core. Add to that the confusion of someone saying it is a 45nm dual core and I am drooling on the keyboard in cautious anticipation of its low heat and power.
Can anyone post some solid info on this?
