Atom actually improved a lot during its journey. I accidentally bricked my Z3736F tablet a while ago and it's doing ok under Windows 10 like the yoga book I've tried at the store. I only realized how much powerful it gained until I dig out my old netbook with Atom N280 and trying installing Windows 10 on it.....
So I'm kinda not getting it with the "never design quality atom chip" concept. It not losing to the best QCom can offer so if this is consider a poor work then I doubt what to expect from QCom.
The point is that Qualcomm's cpu and gpu performance gain is higher year to year and it is reaching towards core m level performance with upcoming s845 chip.
intel atom chips are tactically handicaped by intel so that they don't come close to core m territory.
There was a time 2 years ago when we used to see lots of 8 inch and 10 inch Windows tablets but due to low profit margins intel siezed further atom chips developement for tablet &
AMD is also pretty much non existent.
Only thing that Windows on arm is bashed by reviewer's is slow x86 emulation and unpreadictability and lack of compatibility with lagacy softwares.
Their native app performance is good,battery life is as good as other arm tablets like ipad, ufs storage speeds are much better than crappy emmc storage options from atom devices.
That's why I am saying future of Windows tablets is better with arm than intel if Microsoft can achieve faster emulation and reliable app compatibility. But that's big if, let's see how far Microsoft goes with Windows on arm.
