More particularly, it reflects the announcement by Intel that the Atom Processor D2700 is in "end of life" status [already!]. > The consumer electronic world changes so fast that stuff is obsolete > before the industrial world even has a chance to design it in. For > machines that are expected to last a decade of more<...> The Intel Atom Processor N2800 will also reach "end of life" status much sooner than ten years from now. There is nothing about shortened production life in the LogicSupply description about the respective board simply because at the moment the CPU is still in "launched" status. I won't bore you with an enumeration of the products I own which reached "end of life" long before I did.
