We thought that the new generation of Intel Atom processors, will be used either in tablets or smartphones, as the life cycle of the netbook come to the end.
Judging by the statements made by Intel, now Bay Trail processors bears additional mission - they will not only be used in tablet with thickness less than 8 mm, but also will give birth to low-cost notebooks and convertible devices, and compact desktop systems. Bay Trail processors can have up to four cores, and systems based on them can work without charging all the day. The cost of such budget Transformers will not exceed $ 599.
Obviously, Intel is trying to cope with the low popularity of ultrabook not only with an aggressive advertising campaign and attempts to reduce the cost of the initial configurations up to $ 599.
