A new US$ 100 stick PC is now available to purchase
from online retailers such as Geek Buying in the form of the ECDREAM A9 which
is equipped with a dual-core Intel Apollo Lake Celeron N3350 processor. The
processor is based on Goldmont microarchitecture and is manufactured on a 14 nm
process. The chip operates at 1.1 GHz with burst frequency of 2.4 GHz.
The Apollo Lake processor supported by DDR3 2GB
RAM and 32GB eMMC together with Intel HD Graphics 500 graphics based on Intel’s
Gen9 architecture, which supports DirectX 12. Equipped with 12 EUs and a clock
of up to 650 MHz, the performance should be roughly on par with the older HD
Graphics (Braswell).
