Intel, the marquee PC chipmaker, is immediately cancelling its ultra-low-power Atom line of processors. Specifically, the company is cancelling its upcoming Broxton platform and the already-delayed SoFIA fully-integrated mobile chipset. Citing a company's spokesperson, the publication of PCWorld reports : Intel's mobile chip roadmap now has a giant hole after the cancellation of the chips. Intel's existing smartphone and tablet-only chips are aging and due for upgrades, and no major replacements are in sight. Intel is also discontinuing its Atom X5 line of tablet chips code-named Cherry Trail, which is being replaced by Pentium and Celeron chips code-named Apollo Lake, aimed more at hybrids than pure tablets. Intel made official their new Atom processors for Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) -- the Atom Z515 which clocks at 1.2GHz and the Atom Z550 which is rated at 2.0GHz. Although the Atom Z5xx series are more targeted to MIDs, it won't be uncommon to see them being used for netbooks like in the case of the Sony Vaio P. The Atom Z515 can very well be included in future smartphones too (runs as fast as the SnapDragon platform featured in Toshiba's TG01).
