Maybe the Atom core itself was performant, but I doubt they could take all the x86 crap around it to make it slim enough for a phone

- kimixa 2y agoThey were SoCs, fundamentally the same as any ARM-based phone SoC - some atom SoCs even had integrated modems. The BoM was pretty identical to other devices.
- ksec 2y agoExactly. Most people still dont get it. What killed Atom on Phone wasn't x86. It was partly software and mostly hardware and cost. It simply wasn't cost competitive, especially when Intel were used to high margin business.
