AMD

it probably costs AMD nothing to keep ordering these from Global Foundries. I'm GloFlo is just happy to have someone taking up foundry space. Dual Cores with SMT wouldn't be terrible in 2023 just for a basic web browsing computer. With programs like Google docs and Office 365 just living in browsers, things like Canvas and Balckboard also only existing on a browser, and most of the most popular sites on the internet pretty much just being netflix, youtube, facebook, reddit, and instagram, tik tok and sites like that, all of which will run on pretty much anything, there isn't much too wrong here. People were going on youtube, reddit, and facebook back in 2010 when most people had 2 cores. Sites have become more demanding, but hardware even at the low end is just so fast now for these ultra basic tasks. Haswell IPC is still more than usable in 2023 for web browsing. The biggest pain is really how heavy windows has become for essentially no real benefit to the user. to browse the web on windows 11 you end up eating up way more ram than windows 7. Mostly due to windows 11 running like a billion processes in the background doing random crap that does nothing to benefit me. Installing any linux distro or debloated windows version will really benefit a system like this. The less processes fighting each other just so you can watch subway surfer videos, the better. The media engine supports H264 and H265 decoding so that will do most of the heavy lifting for content consumption.
