You make the common mistake that just because a product isn't for everyone, it's for no one.
I have worked in IT for almost 30 years, and I'd buy an Atom, I just wouldn't buy it as my main computer. As a kitchen appliance, or in my sun room, or a guest room, it would be ideal since it's very low power, and easily found in mini-ITX, and doesn't make noise.
You can't take a product out its context, and judge it. A Sandy Bridge is a piece of crap for smart phones. Does that make it worthless? An Atom is not a replacement for mainstream processors, so don't judge it in that context. For the size of the die, the performance is extremely good, far better than Sandy Bridge, especially on threaded applications. Intel did a great job keeping it extremely small, and if you judge it by the cost of production, you see a product that meets the needs of a lot of people, but is incredibly inexpensive to make. That's a good and useful product. It just might not be for you. But, do you think a family in a poor country doesn't appreciate the massive cost savings ($300 a month is very good pay in some poor countries) this platform offers? And on top of that, it saves on the electrical bill.
Intel expanded the market with the Atom, and brought the price for a computer down so people who wouldn't otherwise be able to get them, can actually own a computer instead of paying to go to a Cyber Cafe and pay to share one with other people. Intel surely did this to make money, but it doesn't change the fact that this product is helpful to a lot of poor people in many countries, because it allows them to own something they otherwise would be unable to. And it's not even close to be useless, and it's a lot faster than walking to someplace to rent a computer. So, I can understand why a lot of people don't want an Atom, but, at the same time that doesn't make it useless.
