Best Buy Asus X501A Ivy Bridge P-2020M $279.99+tax

Ivy Bridge? Yeah....

It is an Ivy Bridge processor. Not all IB processors are the core i-series.

Can't tell if you're sarcastic or uninformed.

Didn't know Ivy Bridge architecture went down to the Pentium line

Pretty awesome deal actually... perfect for a HTPC. Faster than my first gen i5 520!

[QUOTE] "The Intel Pentium 2020M is a dual core processor for entry-level laptops. It is based on the Ivy Bridge architecture but many of the features like Turbo Boost for the CPU part (HyperThreading, AES, Virtualization VT-d, Trusted Execution or Intel Quick Sync) are deactivated. The Pentium 2020M integrates a graphics card called Intel HD Graphics that is based on the desktop HD Graphics 2500.

The performance of the Pentium 2020M should be approximately 5% above the similar clocked Pentium B980 (Sandy Bridge based)."

Can we just go ahead and say Ivy Bridge Lite? Or Ivy Bridge Mini-Edition?
