"Intel" has such a product - called Minnowboard Turbot:

for which just a few weeks ago a new quadcore version was released. The reason why I put "Intel" in quotes is that formally the Minnowboard is developed/marketed by ADI Engineering/MinnowBoard.org Foundation, respectively and sold by Netgate. But it is well-known that the Minnowboard project/foundation is backed by Intel.
