Does anyone know why the Leap preorder page specifies a Phenom II or an i3/i5/i7 processor in the fine-print hardware requirements? Is it for a particular chip feature? Or is CPU overhead going to be a big issue?

Possibly for sse3, which i think was first in phenom ii for amd. For intel its likely just listing everything but atom

  but I have an Athlon II 640 which supports SSE -SSE4A? They also said that CPU overhead would be low.

    I can say that even with this latest release, CPU usage on my fairly beefy i7 system is ~ 40% on one core.
