Damn the phones! I'd rather have those 2 fine sweetie pies in the first image! Sweet baby Jesus they're fine! 😛

Also, before I clicked the image to make it larger, I actually thought that dude had a huge mole near his mouth! Thank God it's only a microphone!

Good job capturing that first image, Tom's!

When they say A7, they are not talking about Apple A7 silly toms.. They are talking about the ARM A7. There was no quad core a7 apple chip

You are right that the slide shown on stage in this article is referencing the ARM A7 CPU. When we were talking about Intel's claim that Atom outperforms "Snapdragon 801 and A7", we were referencing data provided by Intel in a previous presentation about Merrifield that did mean the Apple A7. This was data provided by Intel for select benchmarks only though.

2015 will be the year Intel SOCs take a big chunk of the mobile market - tablets and phones included.

4GB and an Atom SoC?! They might as well put Windows 8.1 on that thang! (JK due to usability reasons of course.) Maybe they're setting up for the supposedly upcoming Windows OS on phones--not Windows Phone but actually Windows?
