When has intel reimagined products that have low power and low price? Intel has been notorious for having power hungry and overpriced stuff.

Didn't Pouslbo and friends have negative prices ("contra-revenue") yet still nobody wanted them?
For those who, like me, never heard of Poulsbo, it's a chipset for Intel's first generation of Atom processors.

Poulsbo was disastrously bad, quirky, and impractical.

It took all x86 platform warts, and replaced it with even harder to get right "Poulsbo warts" like SFI, and etc.
