The big picture: Modular platforms, at least in theory, seem like a great idea. Rather than having to replace an entire device, you just upgrade the core hardware – usually the processor, memory and storage – with a new module and keep using the other supporting components.

Intel has confirmed that it will no longer develop new Compute Card products. The chipmaker will continue to sell and support current Compute Card products through 2019, an Intel spokesperson told Tom’s Hardware, but the future essentially ends here.

Introduced at CES 2017, Intel’s Compute Card platform is a modular PC that stuffs the processor, memory, storage and wireless connectivity hardware on a card that’s roughly the size of a few credit cards.
In speaking to Tom’s Hardware, an Intel spokesperson said they continue to believe modular computing is a market where there are many opportunities for innovation.

The decision to discontinue new Compute Card products seemingly says otherwise.
