I asked Pascal Dornier about the V1000 and was told that the TDP of the newer SoC's is well outside of the cooling capacity of the standard APU case so it's a no-go. The current APU2 g SoC TDP is 6.5W where as the V/R SoC's start at 12W. I also asked about a version with audio, video and socketed ram and was again told no. The reasons were A. little demand and the market is already saturated, B. Socketed RAM is not as easy to implement as you think, C. HDMI licensing is expensive for a small company, D. AMD does not give them good support.
