The processor is very efficient. Four cores at 3,6GHz, and can support up to 128GB of RAM. Even AMD can't beat that.

Ryzen 3100 can do the same, at the same price point, and was released 5 months earlier than 10100F. Good for Intel for finally catching up?

Good luck finding a 3100 at less than 100 euro though.

A consumer PC should see a single bit error roughly once a week. That’s hardly non-existent

According to who? I checked the edac module for a year on my work machine, and it never detected a single error. I know I'm just one anecdote, but I doubt I'm that lucky.

Here's a few references

XScale was an awesome processor. Not only was it competitive, but it was 100% completely open and documented.

I used it in a design. What I remember (it was a while ago) was the lack of OS and driver support from third party software houses. It was a mistake to use it.

That's a shame. I only used it at a hobby level and found the Linux kernel to be surprisingly stable on it (before Linux really ran on a lot of phones). This was just before Palm started going all-in on Linux/WebOS.

With time I think it could have been a real contender.

It really depends on who the targeted customers are. I remember inquiring on some TI lines and being told by the rep that unless you’re a customer anticipating 1M+ units, that chip really isn’t available.

Is that one thousand, or one million?

This was a while ago, but I recall it as one million.
