  Do you really expect Navi on future Atoms?

  No. I was replying regarding '"the Ryzen embedded alternatives for home use".

  Your Atom history is incorrect. The first ones were released Q2'08. Look up Silverthorne. (Yeah, I have one of the original ones.)

  I don't see where Ian said it started at Saltwell. Only that he mentioned the last few generations of Atom.

  Saltwell was the first true redesign of atom with ooe (out of order execution) iirc

  No its not. Saltwell is a 32nm process shrink.
  
  Silvermont(Bay Trail platform) is the OoE execution Atom.

  The SoC implementation of Atom started with Saltwell. So if Ian's context was the SoC implementation, then starting at Saltwell makes sense.

  If by 'SoC', you mean the tablet and phone chips, I think that was Silvermont, not Saltwell.

  Does this mean that all five cores can be used together by the application ??
  
  I think this will show 6 threads in task manager (cause sunny core has two threads, + 4 Atom cores)

  Stay away from it (if it ever really comes out). I got left high and dry by intel with their previous atom foray into tablets. They decided it was a failure and just stopped supporting the chip (no more drivers for os upgrades) so I am stuck with a tablet with android 6.01 on it
