Technically, Intel continues to sell similar products. For example, i5-7Y54 consumes same 4W of power, the CPU is about 2 times faster, GPU is about 3-4 times faster.
The main downside is the price. These atoms were sold for $20-40, the newer ones for $280. Not sure whether that’s a huge problem for MS Hololens, but everything cheaper than that gonna switch to ARM for sure.
- ahmeni 9y agoFor a moment I thought this kind of massive price increase on a core component would matter for HoloLens and then I remembered the dumb thing costs $3,000 USD anyways.

- rbanffy 9y agoThe x7-Z8700 and x7-Z8750 have RCPs at $37, can address 4x more memory, have twice as many cores and consume 2W. If Intel made a 16-core version running on 8W, I'd want a laptop using it.

Cpubenchmark.net says typical TDP of x7-Z8700 is 4W. For i5-7Y54 it’s 4.5W but can be configured to 3.5W @ 600 MHz.
