"Most the CPUs listed above are oldies that went on sale between 2007 and 2011, so it is likely few remain in normal use."
Shows how they have zero comprehension of how their market works. You hear TONS of people saying they are still using Core 2 CPUs, because unless you are a content creator or gamer its "good enough". I know at least two people myself.
I also have a Core 2 as a server at a friends house, its more than powerful enough for the job so not even close to EOL. There are a LOT of Atoms of various ages used for small form factor PCs and crucially mid-range routers
My router is one of the last Intel motherboards based on Atom so I'm out of luck on all sides it seems, the CPU isn't even on that guidance list despite being NEWER than some of the ones that are. :/
