I never understand some ASUS terminology like CG … what? CG obviously means cheap junk, phones back then, even Atom-powered tablets like the Fonepad, were junk.

And before you ask, yes I have at that time… Intel was even behind qualcomm, no wonder qualcomm still makes the best SoC.

Oh, the Asus Zenfone 5, I still have it at home. This reminds me that there are different versions of Android apps for ARM cores and Intel cores.

FUGATIV, 52 minutes agoPrevious blimey blast, never had a windows phone in my life, but in those days 2g E… moreEdge is fast, from normal Gprs (G) to Edge (E) double speed and you can stream 240p youtube video, make video calls, download movies etc.

The bandwidth of Edge exceeded 200 kbit / s, in some configurations it can reach 400 kbit / s.

If memory serves me right, the first batch of Android phones with Dual-Core Atom processors in 2012 were actually competitive.

They were great for about a month, because they competed well with the old Cortex A9, the unoptimized Cortex A15, and soon fell behind the first Qualcomm Krait (S4 Play) processors. Those Krait cores came later in a quad configuration (S4 Pro), followed by the QSD 600, then the QSD 800. Like clockwork in 2013. Only then did Intel release quad-core Atom processors in 2014, at which point it was too late. And soon they will be behind the launch of 16nm nodes with 2016 Cortex A72 and Cortex A73 processors. So Intel basically killed the project.

The best processor they developed was the Intel Atom (x7-8750), which never found its way into a phone or any Android device that I know of. It was popular on tablets like the MS Surface Go, and even on a gaming device called the GPD Win-1 (the only pocket-friendly one with x86 Windows). It’s all a shame from Intel, such mismanagement is comparable to Microsoft. Ideally they (Intel) should start making hybrid processors as early as 2015. And for the Core-i + Atom SoC, Intel used the 14nm node. This may make Windows Tablets more popular than iPads and Android Tablets. When they follow this trajectory, they can keep Apple as a customer for a long time and maintain a lead against AMD for a long time. Or if they run Intel Foundry early to make GPU, RAM, storage and motherboard chips.

Yes, now it works with “amd”. It’s easy to tell because of the heat problem in the summer.

Blast earlier, never had a windows phone in my life but 2g edge must have been a pain in those days, 2g was like waiting for the bus at 5am on a sunday,😱
