I use an AMD A8-6600K APU with 8GB of RAMs (2GB 'shared' with graphics engine) with Corel Draw and Photo-Paint. Samsung 120GB SSD for OS/Apps with a Samsung 1TB HDD for storage.
It's silly fast with a mouse. On a tablet, it would be freaking incredible. I can flip between brushes and effects with no effort. I had to dial-back my mouse speed until I got used to how quick it responds.
I suspect if Intel made over-priced toilet cleaner, you would recommend it, too.
