"Budget" Chips go Head-to-Head

StewedSquirrel writes "Anandtech has published an article taking a look at the low-end of the CPU market today. It takes Intel's newest Celeron processors against the AthlonXP and Duron with a Pentium 4 1.8GHz thrown in for comparison. All of these processors will cost you under $120, but the article shows that the old Duron (at barely $40) can out-perform Intel chips costing nearly 3x as much. In addition, it shows that the performance of the Athlon XP is head and shoulders above the Celeron processors, while costing roughly the same."

    Then he blinked again.

    'Aaaaaugh what am I doing???' The wild-haired boy tore his eyes away from convenient peephole that Brock had made last week in the screen that he, Misty, and Ash used to shower on their traveling trips.

    But he couldn't resist. Guiltily moving his eyes back to the hole, Ash blushed a deep red. He had never done anything like the before... he'd never really thought about it, either. That was always Brock's area of expertise. But just yesterday, when he was rolling up Brock's sleeping bag for him (who had gone to forage for more food), a Playboy magazine had been neatly hidden underneat his pillow.

    Although Ash usually averted his eyes and put the dirty magazine in Brock's backpack, this time was different.

    The magazine had perfectly fallen to a centerfold of a redhead with her legs splayed wide open over two pages. Her privates were completely alien to Ash and he didn't understand why, but when he glanced at the picture, he imagined his friend/enemy Misty in such a position. Although in the back of his mind he was ranting 'What am I thinking?? This is Misty, for God's sake!!', his creative side took over and imagined the fourteen year old redhead in white teddies, or completely naked.

    Without even realizing it, Ash had sat down on a nearby rock and scoured over the contents, running his trembling thumb over the printed pussies and tits that were plastered all over the pages. Something hard had formed between his legs and he felt achy and warm. He didn't like it. It was... wierd.

    Brock had come back with an armful of food, and was surprised to find Ash with his face buried in his porno. The horny, slit eyed teenager teased Ash and found pleasure in making the pre-teen turn bright red.

    "It's okay, Ash. Every guy does this. If you want, I'll share my archive of older issues with you. There's this really hot babe in last month's. Talk about your giant ti--"

    "I don't wanna know! Argh!"

    Brock had chuckled to himself when Ash threw his magazine down and ran off.

    'He's probably out by some tree masturbating his brains out.'

    Misty's body shimmered in the sun, her pale flesh glistening. She soaped herself up, with the very same soap that she and Ash shared, rubbing her hands all over. She had even quickly cleaned herself "down there". Then she proceeded to plunge under the water of the clear pond, and Ash gave himself a break.

    He faced his back to the screen and groaned. He was feeling that hot feeling again. Then he groaned again, berating himself for sinking to such perverted levels. But then he replayed what Brock had said to him yesterday.

    "It's okay, Ash. Every guy does this."

    Was that true? If so...

    The pre-teen looked down in his lap. What the heck was his dick doing?? It had, like, a mind of it's own! A wet spot had formed at the crotch of his jeans, and he felt his face burning a bright red. Did he just piss in his pants? He didn't think so. But just to make sure, he stood up and went a few trees away to take a leak.

    Misty's clothes were right next to him, but he faced the other direction so he wouldn't pee on her only outfit.

    Ash had a bit of trouble unzipping his fly. His penis was a lot bigger that it usually was, but he got it open after a couple hard tugs. Taking his young manhood out, he placed his hands around it and tried to pee.

    It didn't work... but... another type of liquid came out of the tip of his penish. Ash wiped his thumber over the end and inspected it. It looked like... a sort of white jelly. The young boy became slightly alarmed. Did he have some sort of disease? Maybe it was an STD... well, he didn't know what an STD *was*, but he knew that it affected your privates.

    Suddenly, Ash felt an urb to rub himself. He placed his right hand over his dich and closed his fingers around it. He gave a loud groan when he moved his fist up and down. Some more white stuff came out of his penis. He squeezed himself, and slid his hand up and down a

    1. I'll be modded down as flamebait or offtopic, when this is stuff that matters.

    2. Apple sell very expensive G4s still

    3. x86 compatible "Budget" chips, the cheap bottom of the barrel chips, start at 1.8GHz.

    Still stick there at 1.25GHz on your G4s apple? Tsk.
