"Edge" ... you're using it wrong.

"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"

So, anywhere a desktop fits? Basically desktops?

I now live exclusively in an embedded world of RISC, ARM, ATMEL, etc. software and hardware and these SoC's are simply replacements for desktop machines and "thin" clients. In no way are these anymore "Internet of Things" than that mall kiosk that sells you shoes.

"Edge" is a term coined by The Edge to sell more U2 albums. Every time someone optimizes for The Edge... well you don't want to know.

I had to re-read that: "45W parts 8 to 14 cores... for IoT edge". How in the hell is that IoT...? WTF is going on???
