They should do both as x86 needs to be in the mobile software space for future growth. Arm had power problems too when it initially went to triple issue with A15 but it persevered and the power issues are well under control with the A72 derivative in smaller processes. Just because goldmont is a mobile bust at 14nm it does not mean its derivatives would be at 10/7nm and anyway who says Intel must only have one mobile atom core when arm has many for different market segments.
Just develop airmont further if goldmont is fundamentally flawed as a mobile processor. Instead BK has just made Intel a laughing stock in mobile which all of its worst critics have been claiming for years just when competitive mobile chips were being produced literally snatching defeat from the jaws of future victory. Clown.
