It's probably ARM. If it were IA, Intel would be shouting from the rooftops about it.
Hmm intriguing comment indeed. But I doubt any Silvermont-based chip could reach 2 days of battery life with a very small battery. Perhaps the Quark (i486) variant then?

The Chuwi Vi8 Windows tablet is heading to China in December, when its expected to go on sale for about $82. Odds are that the tablet will cost a little more if you want to pay to have it shipped to the US or Europe.
Chuwis new tablet features an 8 inch, 1280 x 800 pixel IPS display, an Intel Atom Z3735F quad-core Bay Trail processor, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.

A new version of Google Glass is coming in 2015, with an Intel x86 chip inside
You should stop quoting him, he has seen so many Conroe moments in the last years that his brain has been damaged :biggrin:Atom (Intel) might have won a Google Glass design win: https://twitter.com/FPiednoel/status/539466297331810304
Nowhere in the original article from WSJ is x86 mentioned. They go even as far as saying the Intel Mica watch is running an ARM CPU.

Although demand for tablets has weakened with shipments expected to see an around 10% growth in 2014 and a flat performance in 2015, Intel and AMD are still aggressively preparing their new tablet products for 2015, looking to take as much share as possible of a market estimated at about the 200 million units.
Intel's new 14nm Cherry Trail SoCs, which will replace the existing 22nm Bay Trail-T platform, are expected to enter mass production in March 2015. The new processors will enable lower power consumption than the existing ones and feature Intel's eighth-generation GPU and support both Android and Windows operating systems.
In addition to hardware, Intel has also adjusted its tablet subsidy strategy recently as well as cooperated with Rockchip and Spreadtrum, looking to expand its presence in China's tablet market.
This year ECS introduces a tiny desktop computer capable of running Windows, Ubuntu, or other operating systems. The ECS Liva is small enough to hold in one hand, priced at under $200 (and currently available for just $110), and sold as a sort of DIY kit: you have to put the system board and the case together yourself.
ECS has a new model on the way, and it will have additional storage options, could have a faster processor, and has a new case design. It’s called the LIVA X, and it will likely launch in early 2015. Like the original, the new ECS Liva X will be available with 32GB to 64GB of eMMC flash storage. But it will also have an mSATA slot for a solid state drive.
The new system will be available with 2GB or 4GB of RAM, an Intel Bay Trail-M or Bay Trail-I processor with a clock speed up to 2.25 GHz, and there will be a model that comes with Windows 8.1 with Bing software, as well as models that ship without an operating system. [...]
MeegoPad T01, also known as APM-D01, is a low cost Android 4.4 and/or Windows 8.1 HDMI TV dongle powered by Intel Bay-Trail-T Z3735F or G with 1 to 2GB RAM, and 16 to 32GB eMMC. It has become quite popular (for a Chinese product from an unknown board), and one seller managed to sell nearly 400 pieces of the 2GB RAM/16GB eMMC version on Aliexpress for about $130 shipped. But this morning, I discovered this Windows 8.1 HDMI TV stick was listed on DealExtreme for just $93.50 $99.99 including shipping, and if you want the 32GB eMMC version, it would cost you $104.39 $109.99 also including shipping.
MeegoPad T01 specifications of the devices sold on DealExtreme:
SoC – Intel Atom Z3735F “Bay Trail” quad core processor @ 1.33 GHz (Bust freq: 1.83 GHz) with Intel HD graphics Gen 7 (2W TDP)
System Memory – 2 GB DDR3L-1333 (64-bit up to 10.6 GB/s)
Storage – 16 or 32 GB eMMC + micro SD slot up to 64GB
Video & Audio Output – HDMI 1.4
Connectivity – 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 (Realtek RTL8723BS)
USB – 2x micro USB ports, 1x USB 2.0 port
Misc – Power button
Power Supply – 5V/2A via micro USB port.
Dimensions – 11 x 3.9 x 1 cm
Weight – 50 grams

I thought that this link was about rumours, what happened..?.
It's still a rumour, hence the DigiTimes in parentheses. I wouldn't trust DigiTimes more than an official Intel roadmap like you do with your favourite company though.

man dat low power consumption/battery life
noice !
Would like to see more optimised machines like that in Windows world
This is a realistic timeframe. A Computex launch is possible with first tablets available late Q2 or early Q3. Probably Q3 for the first tablets.
2 years after Bay Trail...ouch.
20nm is also a year later than Moore's Law (24 months). 10nm will also be a year (or more) later than Moore's Law. If Intel gets back on Tick-Tock track like they seem to promise, 10nm Atom will follow quite shortly after Broxton while other companies have to wait and wait for TSMC's or Samsung's 2nd generation FinFET in 2018.
2 years after Bay Trail...ouch.
TSMC is planning 10nm HVM in late 2016 with revenue really coming in during 2017; Samsung is probably on a similar cadence.
Expecting 2018 for 10nm from either foundry seems too pessimistic.

Dear Jeff,
Thank you for your message. Regarding your question about the area scaling chart, the plot is qualitative since no one has the actual data. That said, the 15% area scaling from 20nm to 16FF is made possible by optimizing our 16FF rules to provide smaller cells which can reduce chip area. Meanwhile, I would like to point out one dimension that has not been captured in this graph, and that will be "timing" for the nodes. The reason the area gain on 16FF vs. 20 SoC is smaller compared to other node-to-node transition is because we have decided to leverage our 20SoC product ramp experience and make 16FF ready sooner. Please note that the timing difference between our 20SoC risk production and 16FF risk production is only one year (instead of the typical 2 year gap). However, we will be very aggressive on 10nm in density and performance, which is captured on the graph. Currently, in our roadmap, 10nm will follow 16FF in 2 years. I hope the above clarification is helpful.
Best, Elizabeth
I don't get this number out of thin air. You can take a look at my source and decide for yourself: http://seekingalpha.com/article/209...dvantage-is-just-qualitative-not-quantitative.
Mid-2015 HVM of 16FF + 2 years = Mid-2017 which equates to availability in 2018. Seems reasonable since 28->20 took almost 3 years.
