Weird name indeed. Although I think it'll probably be good for Intel. As it says in that article; sometimes they move too slowly. For a mobile those chips seem fine, although a Raspberry Pi might be more functional for other projects. I'll be interested to see what Spreadtrum and Intel churn out...
