Re: can it run Crysis?

Technology has just become cheap enough that the new baseline it's not worth selling below is much higher than it used to be. The equivalent of a 486 is next to nothing. So you can get something ridiculously low power which will probably cost you as much or more because it's a minority market, and then spend time tailoring your firmware. Or you can buy a peanuts embedded system, slap a pre-built GNU/Linux binary designed for it (probably by the same people who sold you the chip) and just write your software to run on GNU/Linux - for which the expertise is much more available and half your job is done for you.
