that is fair enough. I am sure we are all waiting on anand's indepth analysis when he gets an actual atom tablet to review, just hope that he gives temash another try[preferable not using the v5-122p]
Such assumes that the A4-5000 in the two systems with lower delta power consumption wasn't throttling in some manner. Which wouldn't make sense as the previous section regarding temperature states that throttling was not observed in any of the cases... though there's also the marked peculiarity in that section of the CPU reporting a temperature of 61 degrees centigrade under load in all three laptops? Doesn't necessarily mean anything, it's just quite bizarre and suggests a thermal target for the cooling system at the very least.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that the variance in delta power consumption between the various Kabini/Temash devices that we have data for is downright bizarre. The reference laptop is showing 1.5x the delta power consumption of the Acer. If we assume that we could be seeing the same kind of variance with the A6-1450 and the one data point we have is the peak then the equivalent 'low' would be ~7.7W. But that's just speculation, not hard data.
Put another way, do we actually have any third party reviews that measure the expected low power consumption of Temash? Because if throwing out the notebookcheck results then far as I know we have the same amount of real-world power data for Temash as we do Baytrail - none. (Technically less data for Temash since I see no reason to ignore the figures from the preview, but I have no problem with putting them on 'equal' footing in that regard.)
Is it Intel's bribery..., I mean, marketing budget?There is a reason why close to nobody uses Temash. Yet everyone is queued up for BT.
Holy crap thats a lot of voltage for a tablet SOC!
Is it Intel's bribery..., I mean, marketing budget?
The latest build of CPU-Z wasnt exactly working correctly, but showed a nominal speed of 1.47GHz on our Intel Atom Z3770 processor.

...OEMs are better informed than us.
This is the bottom line.
The bottom line is that many OEMs are waiting for the impending release of Windows 8.1 on October 18th,2013.
There was really no impetus for launching multiple new models in volume for the summer,for them to be shipping with an "older" version of Windows 8 within two to three months,especially with the prebuilt Windows PC market being the way it is ATM,ie,declining.
That is the reality of it TBH.
All Windows 8 devices can be upgraded to 8.1 on the Windows market on October 18th, there is no reason to wait.
Seriusly? its just business man, "Intel Inside" sells.
Also Temash has been avalible for a while now, there are no devices... that should tell you that something is going on, OEMs are better informed than us.
When AMD launched the Brazos, especially, the E-350, OEMs where all over it, there where a large number of devices in the first month, and the number increased with the time.
That was because Intel had nothing, and to make things worse, Nvidia said "bye bye" to Atom/ION combos because of Intel that they where not even giving enoght pci-e lanes to keep offering ION2 like solutions.
Then AMD screwed up with Brazos 2.0, Brazos 2.0 did not deliver, that crappy CPU performance was not longer acceptable, and Intel was starting to launch ULV Celerons Based on Sandy Bridge that ended up with better CPU performance, lower power comsuption and that could even give then a fight in the GPU department.
In fact many OEMs started to use ULV Celerons instead of Brazos... Im not sure why Intel took so long to release ULV Celerons based on Ivy Bridge.
Then it comes Kabini and Temash, and with Haswell-Y, and all BTs im not sure where they gona end up, it will depend on pricing, and the fact there are little interest on OEMs should tell you that those dont perform very good.

Yes, when producing 10s of thousands all the way up into millions of devices there are a lot more concerns than what's good for the consumer. Strength of brand, piggy-back marketing, consistency of supply and the particulars of the business relationship are just a few of the factors involved. Heck there is a bit of a hardware news vibe that big OEMs are seizing the opportunity to tweak Microsoft's nose over Windows license costs now that Windows appears to be in a vulnerable position.
Still, as a consumer, I wonder why there weren't more Jaguar devices for the back to school season. Judging by the lack of any Jaguar mini-itx boards in retail I really think AMD is having its typical supply issues. Jaguar SoCs have to contend with AMD's GPUs for their allocation of TSMC wafers.
Will the Bay Trail netbook/notebook versions have a bit more GPU performance than this Z3770?
Anyone know how many SATA drives the Bay Trail Atoms (or their chipsets) will support?

That is the reality of it TBH.
So if a batch of temash tablets doesn't launch along side BT-T we can safely say they aren't going to happen?
The bottom line is that no one cares about AMD, Intel, Nvidia or Microsoft in the mobile space.
Windows is currently holding about a 5% tablet market share. Bay Trail is targeting that market and that's beyond lame.
I think some OEM will be able to just put a low power a usb3 to sata chip on BT-T and provide a fast mSATA SSD.
