re: Samsung uses Bay Trail for its new Chromebook

Intel needs to work harder to keep google happy with its processors. Google Chromebooks use coreboot (not UEFI) firmware. The founder of coreboot works at google now. He recommends using ARM processors instead of Intel because Intel is so difficult to work with. In this case, he complains about Intel not supplying needed source code:

If you really want a high quality, blob-free, open platform, you're
probably best off with ARM, and a good choice is the new Acer 13:
coreboot, no blobs, and it's really fine hardware at least for me.

His use of "blob" refers to binaries that Intel gives to google (and the open source coreboot project). Source code is needed instead.
