This looks promising.

Yeah, just hoping it's a true HD4000 chip with the decoding intact

Nice! Would make awesome PleXBMC clients!

Hmm on second thought, why not just go with a atom-based intel nuc, probably faster, just a little bit more expensive -- but at least has casing and IR already in-place. The omission of a simple 3.5mm jack is pretty sad. I don't have a fancy amp yet, but I'd have to buy an extra daughter board..

Atom based NUC With IR

Do you mean Bay Trail AKA Celeron?

This thing is pretty freaking awesome. Intel really is giving ARM a run for their money.

I guess the $129.99 one has the most potential? I will definitely be keeping an eye on these.

[Dougie Fresh]

US$129 for 2GB system memory? Yikes.

US$129 for 2GB system memory? Yikes.

I think it as trying to state the $99 board has 1GB Ram and the $129 board 2GB Ram not how much the ram costs

[GomezAddams]

The $129 board has a dual-core CPU as well.

If this does end up having Intel HD4000 will that GPU be sufficient to run emulators up to Dreamcast, PS2 and Gamecube level?

available for pre-order now, 2-core version

The Bay Trail platform is just the next evolution of the Atom CPU. (Drastically improved from the old Atoms, mind you.) The name change was probably done because of the stigma the Atom brand name carried.
