I use a Thinkpad T400 with P8400 core2 duo at work every day... it's 2% faster. It should have no problem doing simple word processing and looking at YT videos.

For anyone else not in the know, it was slow 8 years ago. This is a no go.

These AMD excavator cores at low speeds just do not hold up. There's only one FPU for both cores to use and they get bogged down with any kind of web browsing, and you can forget about multitasking. That design only makes sense when there's 3-4 modules (6-8 cores) and higher clock speeds.
No exaggeration, these feel like single cores the moment you need to do anything.

Floating point math in passmark is a single threaded test. The 9120c tops out at 1709MOps at 2.4Ghz (and there's only one FPU in total) whereas the P8400 at 2.2ghz has 2,073 MOps per core. Random string sorting is also far higher on the P8400 as well.
In many real world scenarios the P8400 is up to 2x faster. The only thing these AMD excavator cores have is some newer instructions that speed up certain tasks, but there's simply not enough oomph behind it to make a difference.

I'm all for using low spec hardware that's just good enough, but this should be reserved for the folks whose budgets are capped at exactly $50. It will prove frustrating for most. I bought a low end Chromebook a few years ago for like $100. It was one of those that people said "if I just need it for email YouTube it will be okay." It was never okay and lagged like there was no tomorrow, or like it was waiting to see if there was no tomorrow so it didn't have to keep trying.
