As for hololens, the current version is approaching EOL anyway.
- evgen 9y agoThe Hobbit was _not_ an x86 chip, hence the delay its discontinuation introduced. I was not suggesting that an architecture change was necessary for Hololens, but are there a large range of low-power/mobile x86 SoCs out there to choose from? I know ARM has sucked up most of the oxygen in this particular room, but surely someone other than Intel is working on a similar line?

Exactly my point. > I was not suggesting that an architecture change was necessary for Hololens, but are there a large range of low-power/mobile x86 SoCs out there to choose from?

ARM and x86 have readily available implementation for Windows OneCore.
- Azerb 9y agox86 is not easily swappable by any means. From voltage supplies/rail timing, crystal requirements, different device drivers and FW rewrites, etc. Changing CPUs on a modern design is a huge reset. Source: PM for a hardware product line
- asveikau 9y ago> As for hololens, the current version is approaching EOL anyway. Does it make sense to call it "EOL" for a product that never took off? When was the "L"? Wikipedia says released March 2016 for a dev version, and an unspecified time this year as a consumer version. That is a rather short lifetime.
