Intel Quark Delayed till Mid-Jan 2014, Users NOT Getting Galileo within Two Weeks

Intel Quark is the next step in miniaturization of the CPU. Just like the Atom, Quark is not being taken very seriously at the moment and is thought to power tomorrow’s wearable computer technology
(wrist watches, smart clothes etc). Also it is expected to sneak a
share of the Raspberry Pie’s Pie (Pun Intended). We have now received
confirmation from authentic sources that everyone (who ordered) is in for a disappointment since it will arrive instead in Mid Jan.

Intel Quark SoC X1000 powered Intel Galileo gets Arduino on-board, Delayed till Mid January 2014

Quark is basically an ultra low power and ultra small form factor
implementation of the Intel CPU. It is also has a very limited number
of cores and is basically designed for two main purposes: Intel Galileo –
the Raspberry Rival and future smart objects. Part one of the plan was
already under way and nearly the entire tech world was expecting to get
their hands on the Open Source
Galileo in two weeks. However we now know otherwise. However the fact
that they now have Arduino with them obviously means a better and more
efficient product and the very slight delay should not be begrudged in
the slightest.

The Galileo unit would have been priced at around $60 with some
retailers showing it at $69. The more interesting part, that i forgot to
mention, is that the Intel Galileo development board is also an Arduino compatible development board. It means that the decision by CEO Brain Krzanich would offer good returns for negligible loss (if any).
