This from another thread..
"Arg, was just reading over at AT some comments about how with Intel dropping SOC Atom, the very low-end tablet market is probably going to disappear in a while."
I thought the Atom was being phased out in favour of Quark ?
I can find this waffle from the CEO ?

They mention FPGAs here, and the warm-fuzzies of IoT, but no mention of Quark, which was supposed to power their IoT ?
Somewhere, real silicon has to exist, not corporate mission words ?
I find quark roadmaps from 2014

I know they are shipping a Quark D2000 - there are
1300+ Quark D2000 MCU Developer Kits in stock at Mouser.
Even though that is a Microcontroller, with no wireless connectivity, I guess that is under the 'IoT' banner ?
All up, rather a confused presentation, I wonder what their investors make of this ?
Anyone know what actual devices intel will be making ?
