They enabled other companies do an ATOM soc using 3rd party fab. nobody took them on their offer.
At the same time , they did there own SOC's. for example the CE4100 ,which is especially fitted for digital tv's and includes graphics(powervr) + memory controller + dsp + hd decode on chip.
It has took the place of tegra in the boxee box, because the tegra wasn't able to decode high profile H.264 HD streams.pretty disappointing for the tegra after all the hype.
But still , the power consumption is high : 11.2W for the boxee box(it's common for streamers to have half that). but intel claims it hadn't done sleep mode on the ce4100.
Edit: sony will also use the ce4XXX(sodaville) for tv's.
