They were comparable to the rest of the phones at the time. Not great, not terrible. Compared to anything in 2024 they were obviously trash, but that's mostly because we've made 10 years of progress since then.

The Samsung Galaxy is 15 years old, and it was excellent. First Android device I felt had decent performance. I think my first one was an Galaxy S III, which would have been 2012.

The Zenphone that's out now uses a Snapdragon. There's probably a good reason for that.

Yes, that there are no smartphone sized Intel Atom processors anymore.

The zenphone 2 performed similarly to much more expensive phones. https://www.anandtech.com/show/9251/the-asus-zenfone-2-review/4

I'm not going to be the person defending intel in 2024, but back in 2015, that atom was competitive.
