Separately, the title is misleading when it says "Intel cuts Atom chips". While "cuts" may be technically correct, Intel isn't giving up on Atom, just canceling the smartphone SoC's that were planned to use it. Silvermont (the basis of the soon to come out new Knights Landing Xeon Phi) and (so far as I know) it's successor Goldmont are still going forward as scheduled. From the (significantly better) AnandTech article titled "Intel's Changing Future: Smartphone SoCs Broxton & SoFIA Officially Cancelled": Also not discussed in greater detail is Intel's future plans for their overall Atom lineup. With Apollo Lake announced just earlier this month, it's clear that Intel's Atom efforts have not been cancelled entirely. We will still see the new 14nm Goldmont cores appear in low-cost PCs under Apollo Lake, most likely in several 11-to-13 inch high volume devices. http://www.anandtech.com/show/10288/intel-broxton-sofia-smartphone-socs-cancelled http://www.anandtech.com/show/10288/intel-broxton-sofia-smar...
