Looks like Intel is following AMD's lead again - x86 everywhere.
Well, everywhere except Itanium's little corner of the universe

Those with memory capability exceeding a houseplant will
remember that Intel created the x86 family expressly as
an embedded processor line. And such folks will also note
that Intel has long offered older x86 products on long term
availability basis to the embedded crowd, a concept that
only recently dawned on AMD although its concept of long
term availability is still quite laughable.

Those with long memories will also remember how AMD
burnt its embedded control customers when it dropped
development of its 29k family. Many of those people have
not forgotten either.

LOL. Do some research. Remember the 80186? Following AMD, indeed....
