anyway who says Intel must only have one mobile atom core when arm has many for different market segments.

This is a very good point and something that has bothered me about Intel's product dev methodology for some time.

Why are they using the same basic Core uArch for everything from 4.5W tablet/2-in-1 all the way up to servers? They should have a whole suite of x86 cores, each custom tailored for each of its high volume segments.

If ARM can successfully develop all these core lines, then why can't Intel?



There have been lots of compromises across the product lines because Intel has wanted to use the same cores across the board. They are changing this somewhat beginning with Skylake Xeon which is the same basic Skylake core but with a bigger L2 cache & AVX-512, but the fundamental pipeline/OoO structures are likely the same.

There is so much opportunity that Intel has in front of it, it owns the manufacturing tech (so it can be custom tailored to each product family), owns the x86 ISA, and has the capability to build all sorts of IPs/SoCs to go after different markets.

These assets need to be appropriately utilized, something that I don't think is being done now.
