I’ve been wondering why I can’t get something in a NUC like form factor with some legit cores and memory for a decent price. The x4 is launched, I’d totally settle for like 4 x1 cores, 4 or 8 x3 or x4 cores would be ideal, something that can out perform an intel nuc. Pi’s are cool, but I need some compute. I think I’m starting to get it with this wacky licensing stuff. I’ve had some doubts the last few years but I have never really bet against intel. They have been shockingly good for a very very long time. A wave of elite x like parts on the desktop, at good prices, would hurt them, badly as the ecosystem spins up. AMD jumping in would also hurt them. The more ARM wastes this window of time, the more likely intel will get their process sorted and push out an aggressive microarchitecture on “x86s” and have ARM64 like qualities with some backwards compatibility
