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

  • Intel made a very solid attempt to develop and launch these products and turn them into popular platforms.

    It looks like they are re-evaluating their chances of achieving profit margins that would justify further investment.

    Maybe they feel this market segment is not lucrative enough (even though there has to be money in IoT) or maybe they have new products coming that will better address this market.

    The missing factor in the current equation is a killer app that ARM chips cannot address. Nobody, including Intel has been able to come up with a killer app yet that would attract large volumes of consumers and developers to the platforms.

    I'm positive there is a true killer app for one of Intel's platforms, at least one that would get me on-board, but solutions like these never made it to Intel's attention.
