      Intel just killed future Atom CPUs.

      Hopefully the Apollo Lake line includes AES-NI and QuickAssist. I couldn't find those details here.

        Did you read the article?

        The company is immediately canceling Atom chips, code-named Sofia and Broxton, for mobile devices, an Intel spokeswoman confirmed.

        That article is all about Mobile/Tablet chips, not "Microserver, Entry Communication Infrastructure and Cloud Storage."

        Nothing about C2000/Rangeley.

          the article doesn't say anything about other Atom lines, or the future replacements for Rangeley, either.

          I can't say what I know (CNDA), but Sofia, especially, looks like it was an Intel "science project" from here.
