ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE?
Right when we get the first UMPC in ages, RIGHT WHEN THEY'RE ABOUT TO COME BACK, INTEL FUCKING KILLS ATOM.
WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT?
I had hopes of this shit going big, of maybe even making my own boards once I've gotten my head around arm, but no, it's fucking dead.
Time to buy up a few buckets full of Z2480's, because this is the end times.
No more small, low power, high performance x86 chips anymore.
What will happen to small <8" win tablets? They gonna die soon? Fuck them all moving to i3's.
Where where you when UMPC's died a second time?
>GDP Win is liv
>Atom is ded
>no
>>54369526
>what is core m
They're probably introducing new tech, and don't want it having Atom's reputation. More than likely new or acquired architecture
>>54369526
>atom dead
What?
>>54369601
I have a d2500 and a baytrail, both are serving me well.
Also fuck, forgot link in the op

IT'S NOT THAT SAME, THAT'S WHAT IT IS!
I like my cute mini single die PoP SOC's...
good
long live arm
>>54369526
Good!
Atoms were shit and the worse CPU ever conceived.
AMD APU 4 LYF!
>>54369526
Because they don't need two product lines making two versions of the same product.
Apollo Lake is the future.
>>54369633
Why not just merge the mobile and win lines?
Want mah EFI zenfone/razr i...
You guys are clowns

>Intel’s Atom processor architecture will live on despite the recent cancellation of next-generation smartphone chips.
>The chip maker will continue the development and use of the processor architecture, which stresses power efficiency, though the chips may not necessarily carry the Atom label. Last week Intel canceled upcoming Atom smartphone chips code-named Broxton and Sofia.
>The Pentium and Celeron chips will be used in productivity tablets, hybrids, low-cost PCs and Chromebooks.
>The company poured billions of dollars into its mobile business, but Intel failed to unseat market leader ARM. Atom is available in just a handful of smartphones, and the tablet market is declining. PC makers are replacing tablets with detachable devices and hybrids.
>The Atom product line has been in trouble for some time. Atom started off with a bang in netbooks, but its fortunes have sagged since then. Intel's mobile chip updates haven't followed a set timeline, and the last Atom chips for servers were released in 2013.
LOOOOOOOOOOOL
holy fuck, intel is such a piece of shit company
>couldn't meme their way by making behind the scenes illegal deals with manufacturers to gain market dominance
>failed
wish that happened with desktop chips too. pieces of shit
>>54369661
Missed one line
>The next-generation Atom architecture, code-named Goldmont, will first appear in future Pentium and Celeron processors, code-named Apollo Lake

>>54369577
THIS IS
SEE THAT SHIT?
FUCKING vPRO!
RUINED!
>>54369661
BUT I LIKE MOBILE ATOMS!
See >>54369611
>I like my cute mini single die PoP SOC's...
None of this pentium celeron shit. I. Like. Atom.
It's cute.
finally this hand held telephone meme is coming to an end
>>54369674
oh yeah even more confusion about what cpu does what now
>here's a pentium for computers
>here's a pentium for laptops
>here's a pentium for netbooks/phones, it has a little asterisk in its name!
>>54370145
they still make pentiums? what's up to 6? 7?
>>54369577
Core M is fucking expensive for some reason though
>>54370178
Muh $20 tray price intel chips be dead...
>>54370167
it's more like they make a CPU and then slap the Pentium name on it. They're just playing on the name for marketing and to indicate its relative performance
>>54369577
Xeon D mobile version fucking WHEN
>>54369526
Why?
Has ARM taken over the low end market and ULV Core i series replaced the Atom in decent slate tablets and UMPCs/handhelds?
like the CF-H2?
>>54370404
OP is misinformed. Atom is staying for laptops and tablets. Intel is getting out of the phone/handheld market where ARM is winning
>>54370477
Which is kinda silly, because they barely started to get into it.
I'm guessing this is less technological, more because of some AGM/quarterly review/some other regular managerial/director event in bullshit shareholder appeasement.
*Sent on my ASUS ZenFone® 2 Deluxe™
The only time the atom ever mattered was the HTC HD2. Bless that phone
>tfw you will never experience running winblows on zenfone 2
>we will never have x86 phones or real OSs running on phones
>>54370615
Nigga that was arm.
>>54370737
There's an anon that pops up here every now and then when I post about my Razr i who said he's got the intel EFI stack running on some atom mobile chips or something similar.
>>54372376
>we will never have x86 phones
>What is Zenfone 2 and Razr i?
Something something EFI.
