My NuVision $80 Windows 10 tablet is using an Intel Atom and that things runs all the basic stuff, HD video, streams YouTube above 1080p, etc.

I have a really old PC running an Athlon X2, it can do the same stuff and run basically any 7th gen era game and some modern stuff thanks to an RX460.

The more modern Jaguar processors can do plenty on a PC. Just give it a rest, your assumptions are wrong.

That Atom is using secondary processors (Namely the video block on the integrated GPU) to offload HD video, Youtube, Flash video etc'.
Or if you were like me with an older Atom (Think: GMA 950/3150 era atoms) you chucked a Broadcom Crystal HD into the mini PCI-E slot of the Atom tablet to do that task instead. Otherwise watching HD video was impossible.

An Athlon X2, if it's the first generation Athlon X2 is actually a bit faster than Atom... And unlike Atom and Jaguar was a high-end CPU once upon a time. Albeit, it's extremely dated now.
Running 7th gen games isn't entirely impossible on that chip. But more modern games would fall flat.

Jaguar is the successor to Brazos an Intel Atom competitor. You aren't running high-end games on it. It's low-end, slow and old.
And no, I won't "give it a rest" because I don't believe I am wrong.

Fact is. Running any flash/HTML 5/Element heavy website on Jaguar is a freaking chore. Especially on the consoles where rendering time is long.

It's a terrible and low-end CPU. Don't agree with that? Then sorry to say, but... Stiff.

Mmmhmmm... looking at benchmarks the Jaguar processors seem fairly capable.

You're arguing they're useless junk. I'm aruging, they're fine for budget processors with GPU focus. The APUs in consoles just happen to be superior than the PC market gets.
