As someone with a lot of experience in board bring-up, trust me, the hard part isn't grabbing AMD's reference board, sticking on an audio chip and a wifi chip and sending it over to a board manufacturing shop. The hard part is wrangling the software: BIOS, drivers, testing and more testing, patches, microcode updates. Finding out that your wifi chip vendor has moved the chip to end-of-life just before you were ready to ship would be a non-issue if the software part were faster.
