That's part of the Bay Trail generation isn't it? Are those processors
still manufactured? My worry is that although there are boards still in
production, they might be simply using up an old stock of parts. The
question becomes whether these will still be produced in the near
future, or whether the companies are just using up the rest of their
supply.
