status, and they assure me it's good and that they are still

production for over 20 years! Meanwhile, Intel has introduced and
dumped 10 or 20 generations of embedded products, cancelling some just
after samples were available. They just dumped the Xscale stuff, their
version of Arm (or Mips? I forget.)

Would an conclusion that Intel is an unreliable partner for embedded projects
be true based on this info..?

At least we can say that there was a point at which they did not care
about maintaining a reputation in the embedded market.

What their opinion on the subject today is, I don't know. It doesn't
matter to me because a direct lie they told me some years back got them on
my bad side and on such things I have a very long memory.
