> Intel said the new SoCs are aimed at a broad range of industries, including point-of-sale kit in the retail, banking, and hospitality sectors, industrial PCs and controllers for the manufacturing industry, plus healthcare.
I can't see them being used in some industries with high certification costs unless they are available for 20+ years. Intel, to maximise profit, have a history of officially declaring end-of-life and discontinuing most products after about 5 to 10 years. Although with all the recent side channel attacks on most CPU's maybe it is time that the once off high cost of certification is reduced and redesigned to allow for incremental changes.
