Be a show stopper

This was the subject of a mail I received containing promotional message for Intel Core 2 Duo processors.It further went on to say:
We use our PCs to simultaneously check emails, chat on an instant messenger and surf the Internet, all while listening to music stored on the computer or downloading a video. This level of multi-tasking requires robust top end processor power, the kind that only the Intel® Core™ 2 processor can offer.

So if you want to multitask with reckless abandon and hate waiting hours for an application to launch, and learn more about the best processor in the world...
Since when did checking emails, chatting, surfing, listening to music or downloading a video require "robust top end processor power". In fact most of these things can be done using a single application. And I have never seen or heard of a application which take hours to launch.

The Intel publicists need to think this over. I believe this constitutes as a false and misleading advertisement.
