GPD’s MicroPC, one of the better options if you’re looking for a pre-built cyberdeck-esque device, has now been upgraded, with help from an Intel Core 3 N350. Previously, the unit came with either an Intel N250 or Core i3-N300. This upgrade brings a 100MHz increase to the boost clock over the Core i3-N300, with a 0.1GHz boost in the integrated graphics clocks.
Because we love a good data table, here’s a quick rundown on the processor differences (eschewing some data that is the same across all 3, data sourced from Intel);

That things screams wacky Sony 90s or early 2K VAIO laptop line, or something from the 80s. Love the design of it.

That said, the processor interests me too. 7-watts for 8 Gracemount cores seems like it could make for some decent sub-1L emulation gaming and basic Linux workstation machines. It also reminds me of the Jaguar core form AMD which was surprisingly successful.
