Atom CPU. Is this the first mainstream Android Intel device to ship?

Does anyone know if it comes with the Play store?

There are literally millions of Atom Android tablets out there already, including all the last generation of Galaxy Tabs from Samsung.
I've got an Asus Memopad FHD 10 that's running Intel; it was about $30 cheaper than anything similarly specced last Christmas, and I've been generally pleased with it (although system updates tend to break Hangouts for a bit, which I blame on the uncommon platform).
Dell Venue Android tablets are also Intel powered. To the user it is completely transparent, through Dalvik/ART, cross-platform native code, and transcoding. Intel is very well supported by Android.
Samsung Tab 3 10.1 was also Intel-powered.
