Agreed, it would be nice to see an "inexpensive" ARM platform that could include 8-16GB or so of memory.

It's a bit of an odd board because those cores will be very slow, and I guess they're hoping to make up for it by having lots and lots of them. That didn't (IMHO) work well for the Cavium ThunderX, but I guess it will come down to price (supposedly "under $1000" which is many times more than an RPi, and many times less than an Amberwing).

If you want to provide your own ATX case - much less.
