Not better or best 


A part of David (non Puf Didi) Perlmutter’s presentation at IDF included the painful task of playing HD content on netbook, an ultra-slim notebook and the regular dual-core notebook.

David is currently working as an Executive Vice President and General Manager of Intel's Architecture Group and works a lot with mobile devices. His assistant played an HD video of his daughter playing at the beach and started with an Atom.

The stuttering was painful, but they said that this experience is good. Once they moved to ultra-thin notebook things got better and finally with regular size Core 2 Duo HD played like a charm.

This is part of Intel’s good, better and best strategy and all Didi had to say is when you put an Ion in a netbook you have a great experience, but of course he didn’t as Ion is Nvidia’s chip and they don’t want to boost Nvidia sales over Intel's.

Overall, it was funny to see Intel claiming that 945GCE can play what they claim is good HD. My definition of a good HD experience is that it has to run fluently and without stuttering and this was simply not the case.
