I've attached the PDF of the product change notification. I didn't even have a chance to try this one one!

  • Not surprised that Intel is discontinuing these Procesors/Boards.  Intel is concentrating on their x86, x64 Offerings. To this end, Intel has put Microsoft and ARM-chip Manufacturers on notice that they (Intel) will not tolerate x86, x64 Emulation on ARM-chips. I guess I am "Bi-Polar", There is my RPi-side, then there is my Windows-side. My latest WIN10 unit is a Pi-TopCEED w/ an UP-SBC. Works great. My BT, WiFi, Wireless-Keyboard/TrackPad Nubs (USB 2.0 Plugs) work under both OS's: Raspian and Windows.

    Well these boards are x86 offerings, it's more the target market segment they are aiming at. Intel typically operated in the PC/Workstation and Server markets, but they wanted into the huge embedded market with their offerings, hence they came up with Atom based solutions which fit the bill for these types of applications.

     

    I have to admit I hadn't really looked at the specs until this thread piqued my interest but they do actually look really good both in terms of outright performance and price/performance ratio. They could have done a better job of pushing these to people designing embedded systems, maybe not tried to court the Arduino market so much as this isn't really an avenue into high volume embedded product sales IMHO, and maybe they should not given up on the market quite so easily.

    It did seem they were pushing these as the IoT solution to the problem you never knew you had ....
