</div></div> yeahh... and still doesn't have coreboot support [no intel CPU does,<br>
afaik]. it's going to be only when the 28nm low-power CPUs come in<br>
that intel will stand a chance.<br>
<br>
my take on this is that it has to be deliberate by intel: they _must_<br>
surely be able to produce a sub-1W x86 CPU, with all their<br>
resources??? which is probably the problem: they realise that they<br>
would wipe the floor clean in the entire market, and would get<br>
referred automatically to the monopolies and mergers commission.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>They have got a sub 1W CPU now, it just is not this one.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/5365/intels-medfield-atom-z2460-arrive-for-smartphones">http://www.anandtech.com/show/5365/intels-medfield-atom-z2460-arrive-for-smartphones</a></div>
