But Intel did respond with x86 SoCs for smartphones. Merrifield, Moorefield and Airmont.


I still have an Asus android tablet with an Intel CPU, circa 2014.

It wasn't that great then and it deserves death now. Zero ability to upgrade or get third party OS on it due to those processors not taking off.


And they were plagued with compatibility and performance problems.

Almost bought my niece an Android tablet with an x86 CPU. They were priced super low. Turns out there was a reason for that. Apps ran like shit and any games written using the Android NDK just straight-up didn't work.
