How are they calling this Raspberry Pi-sized?

5.75" x 4" (DIMENSION row on https://www.aaeon.com/en/p/subcompact-boards-gene-adp6/)

isn't the same as

3.370" × 2.224" (raspi B size from wikipedia)

Where is the processor? I don't see one in the pic.

Judging by how their last gen product was laid out, it's on the underside of the board.

That's what I was afraid of. Kind of disengenuous to claim it's the size of a RPi, when it's only matches the 2D footprint.

It is impressive they fit 2 RAM slots, 2 NVME slots, 2 Ethernet ports, an HDMI, DisplayPort, and 3 USB slots on that thing. Ridiculous in a way that I like :)
