There’s been no news about Apollo Lake, which is the new Atom-based netbook chip.
Do netbooks still exist as a market? I thought they were strangled by Intel and Microsoft between them imposing tight controls on hardware specs that vendors were allowed to offer.
I would say there’s still a pretty good chance that Intel will continue to operate in this space, if only because a low-cost low-power x86 CPU is still an easier target for a lot of applications (netbooks , as well as higher-end IoT or embedded systems) than ARM is.
Seems like “higher-end” and “IoT” don’t really belong in the same sentence...
