intel-atom-logo.jpgThe Intel-based ultra mobile PC era is coming to an end.
The next generation of Intel SoCs for Windows and Android phones and
tablets has been cancelled, signalling a departure from the 5-10 inch mobile
PC space. Core M could fill-in but it looks very much like Intel are
stepping away from this market. We’ve covered this for over 10 years at
UMPCPortal so it’s a hard-hitting story for this website and all its fans.
What’s the future for ultra mobile PCs?
A post by Patrick Moorhead at Forbes reveals the news in an analysis of
Intel’s announcement yesterday. The PC is now a ‘thing’ and Broxton, the
platform for the next generation of the X5 and X7 Atom range, has been
cancelled. In summary this means there will be no more Intel-based Windows
tablets in the 8-10-inch space and while the 8-inch space is pretty much
dead, the successful range of low-cost 10-inch tablets that were based on
Baytrail and Cherry Trail don’t have platform that will take them into the
future. There’s also a rumor that the current X5 and X7 processors, as used
in the Surface 3, won’t continue.
The Cherry Trail and SoFIA products also underpin Intel’s work in the
Android space so after Cherry Trail goes end-of-life there’s no reason for
Intel to continue working on Android support.
What happens to the embedded and entry-level PC versions of the Atom core
after Cherry Trail? I expect that Intel will continue with a part of the
Atom roadmap as the embedded variant is important for industry (and IoT) and
the entry-level PC versions, under the Celeron and Pentium brands, are used
heavily in Chromebooks and entry-level laptops and desktops. Apollo Lake,
the successor to Braswell, is likely to continue with its planned Goldmont
core although in the longer term Core M path could evolve to cover this area
meaning that Intel can completely shut down development of the Atom
architecture. Core M is now the focal point for mobile PCs.

So what happens in the 7 and 8-inch space now? Given that the Windows 10 app
store is dead and Windows phones aren’t selling, using the Windows Mobile
platform would be a pointless move. IOS and Android will continue to
dominate here and will push further into the productivity space. IoT and
wearables are already IOS in an Android-only ecosystem and consumers will
turn away from any OS that can’t support those products.
Intel will face the press at Computex so expect to get more hints about the
future of Core M at the end of May but don’t expect them to market Core M
as a low-cost Windows tablet solution in 2016. Intel have made a decision to
step away and It speaks volumes for the future of Windows in mobile
scenarios.
UMPCPortal…
It’s the end of an era for sure and I’ll be thinking about what it means
for UMPCPortal because the Atom SoC was the center of the UMPC universe.
Core M is still an interesting story and I’ll continue to follow that along
with developments in 7-10 inch Android and IOS devices. In the meantime it
might be worth thinking about where Apple are going with their ‘post-PC’
strategy. Here’s my latest video for Notebookcheck on the iPad Pro 9.7 but
first, let’s take a look back to 2008 when Intel introduced Atom and were
promoting MIDs with Moblin. |

你居然知道Chippy？真让我震惊。
以前小电脑（UMPC）昂贵的时候，我常去看他，后来小电脑白菜一样满地都是，就不去
了，反而是他跑到我这来。
我以前也是Atom的推崇者，有了CoreM，确实没必要了。Windows廉价板子，没前途，绝
对没前途；Android板子，为什么要用Atom？

谁让他们故意不让Atom有流畅的视频编辑和压缩而又不做一个8寸的CoreM？

就是靠吃 x86 的老本，和它对 x86 指令集的权利。
这 ATOM 砍了，以后它跟 Android mobile devices 也完了。

的 Laptop 生意。 |
