That might be good for SEO, but for a buyer this is utter garbage.
The content is mostly not true at all. A Pentium D might have been optimized for speed and a true powerhouse at launch, but launch was 2005. Even the cheapest CPU introduced in 2022 (Intel Celeron G6900) has >6x the performance of the Pentium D.
And even when the Pentium D was released, its massive power consumption of 95W-130W TDP was criticized, so all the talk about balancing power consumption would have been wrong even in 2005.
What I'd like to see as a buyer would be the following product description:
Instead, ChatGPT waffles on for two full, dense paragraphs of meaningless marketing nonsense.
Speaking from a 2023 perspective, there is actually not a single statement in these two paragraphs that is true. Not even the product name is correct (for a marketing text it should include the name Intel and the correct model number, as there were 15 variants which had ~35% of performance difference between the cheapest and the best.).
Because it's hard to find any valuable or even correct information on these product pages...
