It isn't 30% faster without a fan blowing at it, so its irrelevant to the initial promise what it does under ideal conditions.

Intel is by no means above fixing some errata, dialing in some new numbers and rebranding. For the purpose of being the same, you can test clock for clock.
In terms of being a capable product, without no noise added, on the advertised games, it looks as if cost overshadows promise. People bought it for the given cost, at the promised functionality.
Cranking out cheap devices, when not in touch with what games are, or what game-playing people want, is very much the modus operandi of chinese and korean companies in this field. Getting technical and promising to be a laptop, on a new architecture, for very low cost… Cut corners all you like, but there is a wall somewhere.
