@cbrite- 2.3GHz Intel Pentium Gold 5405U dual-core processor with 2MB SmartCache

Wow, I would have thought for the price of the TSV it would be a quad-core. Why would anyone buy a dual-core these days??...especially in a Windows product.

I thought it had to be a misprint, but no. These Pentium gold dual-core processors seem seriously over-priced for what you get. They're slow, use a fair amount of power, only have two cores and four threads. From a price/performance standpoint there seems to be a mismatch.  They're a newer CPU, just coming out in January, but for a list price of $161 you could be/should be getting a lot more, at least compared to desktop CPU's. My two year old AMD FX 6300 has a base freq of 3.5 GHZ, six cores, and sold for less than $80 back then. There's more to CPU performance than the numbers, but it seems like you should be getting a whole lot more for the money.

You just proved my point not to order any computing device from a shopping channel ... "OLD" and outdated. Buyer beware! Alot of folks out there do not know this.
