Which still doesn't imply Notebooks. Netbooks, maybe, but i seriously doubt a PC forma factor computer will be getting an SoC too soon. Maybe by the time Broadwell or Skylake appear on the scene, yes.
For now, phones, tablets, cars, etc.
[citation][nom]azraa[/nom]Wooahh I dont know why so much downrating on my comment, but you seem to be just hating.I do know the point of such a tiny chip. I was making an ANALOGY. Of course Atom is best suited for mobile/low wattage devices. But I had to remind everyone that not so long ago, netbooks (now obsolete) were geared with Atom chips. I never mentioned Desktops using Atom. Below i3 and FX I can mention Core2Duo, Athlons and so on. Some markets (other less developed countries) still include this kind of CPUs in entry level notebooks/netbooks, and I was referring to that.And about the i7 reference, you just made clear that you dont know how to read properly, making up whatever your mind wants to read.Anyway, good on this development by Intel. I just wanted to made clear how bad the Atom was back in the day. Now i can add that taking this path for it is a better choice from its manufacturer.[/citation]
Again, this is a freaking SoC. Not a standalone CPU. relax. And everyone here knows how bad the Atom was back in the day. Point is that it's not so bad anymore, get over it.
Knowing what the current single core + HT Atom SoC can do, i know this one will be really good. Question remains, will it still look so good after a year.
