That's not a low-end computer. That's mid-range at least. Low-end, e.g.
budget computers in 2008 would have used Celeron processors, which at that
time likely would have been single-core. They would also only have 2-4 GiB of
RAM, and around a 100 GiB hard drive.
The kinds of laptops you should be looking at are the $300-$400 budget
laptops (sometimes as little as $200) found at Walmart and other similar
stores. Those also include Chromebooks. I already told you that the SoC being
used for the next computer card (yes, the Rockchip one) is actually used in a
fairly recent Chromebook, the C201 (released sometime in 2015, afaict). In
fact, this Chromebook is still easy to find new, so you could easily buy one,
install Debian or Parabola on it, and see how well it works.
So, yes. EOMA68 will meet the speed needs of many people. That's what
matters, not how they compare to the laptop you personally use. EOMA
standards will cover this market. POWER will cover the higher-end markets you
are clearly a fan of. They are separate and have almost no audience in common
with each other, so they are not competing. This just doubles our chance of
success at manufacturing libre software friendly computers.

No, this is not true. Please do not make claims about things you know nothing
about.
