Intel to Stop Developing Compute Cards
Intel will not develop new Compute Cards, the company has confirmed to Tom's Hardware. Compute Cards were Intel's vision of modular computing that would allow customers to continually update point of sale systems, all-in-one desktops, laptops and other devices. Pull out one card, replace it with another, and you have a new CPU, plus RAM and storage.
"We continue to believe modular computing is a market where there are many opportunities for innovation," an Intel spokesperson told Tom's Hardware. "However, as we look at the best way to address this opportunity, we've made the decision that we will not develop new Compute Card products moving forward. We will continue to sell and support the current Compute Card products through 2019 to ensure our customers receive the support they need with their current solutions, and we are thankful for their partnership on this change."
Oh yeah, that was a thing.

...is actually MARKETING THE PRODUCT.
It's hard to look into a new product if you don't know it exists in the first place. This is the first I've ever heard of these things.

IDK, millions of people should have been alerted by the Jan. 2017 SoylentNews story (that I had to use the site's search engine to find).
