I built my first ARM board for around $30 each, $50 is enough to have a pretty decent profit margin on top of that cost. It was a S3C4510 board running uclinux and I did it 14-15 years ago. That chip is one of the first few publicly availab

there is always such competition - E5-2600v4 vs LGA3647 based processors betting on AMD is nothing different from waiting for an open sourced version of Windows from Microsoft.
