DMCQ: MS does appear to be targeting low end phones with Intel

I am not sure it is that valuable to Intel but they do try to be on all platforms. I like the idea of a Windows phone but no Banking app makes it a nonstarter for me.

"The Windows 10 mobile OS will run on handsets and so-called phablets powered by Intel’s upcoming Atom X3 chips, code-named Sofia, announced by the chip maker at the Mobile World Congress trade show.

Devices with the X3 chips will be priced from under $75 to $249. The X3 chips will also be offered in Android handsets."

These usually cater to the lowest common denominator of platforms though.
