My little (Brazos: Zacate) E350 Netbook is brilliant. I'd love to see some good quality, reasonably priced net-tops based on Brazos they would make lovely little media centres.

Agreed, why can't they just kill off the awful useless Atom already.

Atom helped create, or rather establish, the netbook sector. However, several years on, it still hasn't identified what us techies said on day one: more graphics power.

I was impressed when I first got my current desktop PC with a i5 660 and H55 ITX mobo. It would "have a go" at Crysis! It played 1080p perfectly. So, I gave Intel thumbs up for the i5/H55.

It needs to repeat this success in the netbook sector (Crysis playback not necessary), because I know I would not buy an Atom-based netbook with AMD's current offering being multiple times faster/better in the graphics stakes.
