Doesn't look too bad. However, I think the 1GB of RAM is kinda tight.
For some reason, the amount of CPU cores is growing but RAM isn't
(much anyway). With 8 cores, 2 or eben 4GB of RAM would be really
nice. Then it would be a real PC drop-in.

What I am still hoping for is a MIPS based board that can compete
against a RasbPI 2 or 3 - just to be exotic. :-) I know there is a
MIPS board out there, but it is quite slow in comparison.
