Do we know anything about the Cix people, whose core this is? I've never heard of them before! I'm really glad to see ARM finally after decades have something semi competitive versus buying an x86 mini-pc. One question, hoping the x16 slot has bifurcation support. But this seems like such a perfect board for a SSD NAS. If the slot can be divided into x4 or ideally down to x2 lanes. I'm not sure what bifurcation support entails, what it requires: anyone know?
