The i3 is Intel's most hated product as the margins are the lowest. So it sounds like giving the i3 to an outside foundry is just a way for them to get rid of their least profitable work and is not a sincere effort to move the company forward!

Because of this Google would never approve an i3 Chromebook for internal corporate use!
