They most likely decided that splitting the Bay Trail CPUs into Atom, Celeron, Pentium would be more profitable. The Pentium brand name is more recognized and will allow them to sell the SKU at a higher price. Think they were afraid that the Atoms would cannibalize the I3 CPUs if they kept the Atom branding/prices.

I am also curious about the the ability to decode hi10p content. This seems to be getting more important as 10bit content not only looks better but saves hard drive space. A lot of new content I've been getting has been hi10p encoded not just anime.
Too bad hi10p isn't hardware accelerated.

I think hi10P is a plague. I can't tell the difference between HiP and a regular encode with a larger file size. All source video starts with 8bit encoding anyways. I would rather just increase the file size and keep compatibility for all devices on the market.

Very curious about this Hi10p content and where the 10 bit source video is coming from... All DVD, Blu-ray and broadcasts aimed at the home are 4:2:0 8 bit ITU601 or 709 colour space - there isn't any 10 bit consumer material out there.
Broadcast studios and HD production facilities routinely use 4:2:2 rather than 4:2:0 colour space (both in 601 and 709) which would give you a significant increase in vertical chroma res (though it is then asymmetric compared to the horizontal chroma res). Some broadcast material is mastered and edited in the 10 bit domain (and increasingly material is shot 4:4:4 and >8 bit in-camera - but this extra range is used to allow latitude in grading and flattened down to 8 - or in some cases - 10 bit during mastering)
Where are these Hi10p videos coming from and where is the content being sourced from, and are they also higher bit rate and better encoded (i.e. is the bit depth a bit of a red herring - as they are being sourced from 8 bit sources, but being encoded better so appear to look better)? Do the people releasing this stuff have access to 10 bit VT content on DigiBeta or HD Cam SR??
BTW - just installed a Feb OpenElec Nightly on an Acer C720 Chromebook with a Haswell 2955U and it appears to handle 1080/50i UK DVB-T2 broadcasts from an external TV Headend server reasonably well. This was with VAAPI decoding and software de-interlacing (YADIF presumably)

Maybe fan/no fan is dependent on processor. Celery-i3 no fan, i5-7 fan?
