Now, that Enynos board of yours...I had NOT heard

I need to get my paws on one of those. Unf! -Dave
That thing is nuts. Check out how small it is. Wonder how hot that heatsink gets
Not that hot. I ran a kernel build with -j6 (6 parallel make processes)
on the U2 and while it got warm, it was still comfortable to touch.
Same for the X2.
Keep in mind that the power brick is only rated for 10 W. Thermal budget
wise, this is miles away from current Intel design. It is also quite a bit
_slower_ than current Intel designs, but still plenty fast. If you only need
moderate spec workstation for office, web and mail work, it might fit the
bill. Moreso if you are on a tight power budget (think your power coming
from, say, solar arrays on a boat/in a cabin).
But yeah, those tiny machines are _impressive_.
Kind regards,
Alex.
