This first generation is not about gaining market share, it is about testing the waters and seeing how well a basic chip without much refinement will perform. They do not care that they have next to no market share because this has accomplished its primary objective already. The next chip is where we will really see Intel competing.

Yay for 4G LTE.
Even if you don't end up using it, it's still a big deal as it means these Intel Inside phones will come and be sold in the US.

This must be something odd for Intel. They have to follow someone

Of course, there is the question about quad-core Atoms, which Intel will have to build for the microserver market anyway, but Syal said that Intel was not ready to disclose any product plans about quad-core smartphone SoCs.

iirc there was a slide a few weeks ago detailing a quad-core 22nm Atom that'll ship late 2013. And this was on tom's hardware.
