I hope not. They would be doing themselves a disservice by trying to confuse their customers by calling 2 very different chips the same (which they're already doing with their upcoming ARM server chips). Don't try to "hide" the ARM cores behind the x86 chip brand, like you're ashamed of them. OWN them. Be proud of them and what they can deliver for the power/performance/cost (and if there's nothing to be proud of, then why bother making them?)
- duskwuff 13y agoSimilar, in a sense, to the mistake Microsoft made (IMO) by naming two very different products "Microsoft Surface".
