I'd see it as much less of a disappointment than Nokia taking whatever cash was waved in their face by Intel to use Atom, instead of one of the many, vastly superior ARM SKUs ... anyway, this is just-another-tablet ... albeit with Nokia's own Android ROM.
I'd wait for a proper 14 nm Intel SoC with Intel GPU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(system_on_chip)

It should arrive in 2015. ARM SoCs are all sickening, except may be for Tegra which does have some decent glibc Linux support. I'm OK with Nokia using Atom, as long as there won't be any Android blobs needed to run Sailfish on it.
