Just to speculate, part of the delay may be all of the activity and churn in the RISC suppliers.

ARM development gets a lot of press, but MIPS isn't being left out, noticed just
this week that they now are claiming 1.6Ghz for their dual, concurrent core
(think: HyperThreading).
Haven't read anything recently about PPC, but I am sure they aren't sitting on
their hands over there either.
Nor is TI, if they could just get the part price down…

I would hate to be in the “Directory of Systems Engineering” seat right now -
by the time your crew had the board layout ready for the fab shop -
the processor core you picked would be obsolete.

I have been retired a long time now, but I am guessing this situation is part of
the problem with actually seeing any of the “soon to be released” SmartBooks.

This would be ideal in a Smartbook. Brad, what happened to the Smartbooks?

Big drama in CES but nothing now. Typical manufacturers. Are they coming out now or 2020?
