“Chip.” $9 computer, faster/smaller than a Raspberry Pi

Not to belittle their effort, but if you add the HDMI shield to the main board, you end up with a 24$ computer. That is pretty close to the RasPi 2.

There are many applications where you don't need HDMI.

Except almost more interesting than the chip itself is the PocketChip which lets you easily swap the computers so not only could you upgrade to a faster chip when it comes out, but you could treat them as cartridge. At $9 a pop I could sell a game for the pocketchip for $20 and it just so happens that the game comes on a full blown computer. Combined with an open source design and you could have a number of different computers with different capabilities like star fox back in the day. If you need more of {X} you get the $12 chip, no wifi? $6 chip

This is what I have been on the watch for ever since the raspberry pi compute module came out for much more than I was expecting. The computer is no longer the expensive part, the display is.

Is this open source hardware as in RPi? Like, you can actually use the GPU, but shaders and everything else are closed source?

Yet another crowd funded wet dream.

And third link on HN with little to no interest since yesterday.

This looks nice..
