So if I understand correctly this is what Intel is trying to do.
Please understand I am going to use words that may sound pejorative, but I am purposefully using language that someone who is not technology minded will use in going computer shopping.
If it has a built in keyboard, or is detachable Intel wants this (up to 6 watts tdp)
Celeron (14nm Intel Braswell Atom)
Pentium (14nm Intel Braswell Atom)
Core M low skus
Core M high skus
High End Convertibles Tablets like the Surface Pro 3, Ultrabooks and Normal Laptops (15 watts tdp)
Celeron (14nm Intel Broadwell Big Core), 1.5 to 1.7 ghz
Pentium (14nm Intel Broadwell Big Core) 1.9 ghz
Core i3 U, 2.0 to 2.5 ghz
Core i5 U, multiple speeds, max turbo on best sku is 3.3 ghz
Core i7 U, multiple speeds, max turbo on besk sku is 3.4 ghz
Anything that is a real tablet like the iPad and not a convertible will get the Atom Branding
Atom x3 I have not really seen much on this, but it looks like the best sku is 1.4 ghz with lte
Atom x5 best sku is 2.24 ghz turbo burst
Atom x7 best sku is 2.40 ghz turbo burst, better graphics than x5
In addition it appears intel is trying to get OEMs not to use broadwell celerons and pentiums but instead use atom based braswells to get people to be upsold to i3s. I based this off only seeing intel 5th gen pentiums and celerons in chromebooks but please correct me if you find other skus. So it appears your junk 15" computers (I do not mean junk, I mean low price budget tops) is going to be atoms.
It appears that Intel purposefully wants to segment the market into if you want a computer you get celeron to i7 which is effectively old intel with old intel branding (though new intel silicon inside.)
If you get a tablet, your choices are x3, x5, x7, or core m, aka the hip and young Intel even if many of those skus use the same silicon technology as "old intel." Hip and young intel gets new naming conventions to purposefully steer customers into buying better silicon by being upsold based off the name.
Anyone disagree?
