You're crazy. For gaming they're meh, but Intel designed them for only basic graphics functionality but high compute power. Iris 5200 has more compute power than the 7850k, and Iris you can overclock to 3GHz (the GPU cores) if you really know what you're doing. Broadwell's top SKU boasts a whopping 2TFlop solution at stock 1.3GHz. AMD's 7850k tops out at 800GFlops. Even in GPGPU compute Intel has already caught up and surpassed AMD in integration. And, if you think Intel has been sitting on its ass on geometry budget, it hasn't. Skylake will make even Carrizo look bad if Intel delivers on its promises.

yeah I'm sorry I didn't specify I meant for gaming.

What are you talking about?, they are pretty decent these days

 

"Thanks to the fast eDRAM memory, the average performance of the Iris Pro is only about 15 percent behind the dedicated mid-range cards GeForce GT 650M and GT 750M (DDR3 versions"

the usable space on the 32 GB model is roughly a mere 12 GB

$200 for that and Windows 8.1? Consider me sold, I'm trying to find something nice and cheap for my mom to surf the web, check emails, and watch YouTube, I thought of the Asus Chromebox, but I'm still not convinced on ChromeOS, not saying it's bad, but I want all of the support of Windows. If this comes with Windows 8.1, I might purchase it, seems interesting.

I'll take the platform that runs native x86 code. There's so much I could develop for this device.  :)

There's plenty you could develop for Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone, too... I don't see how the ISA has much impact on what you could develop for it...

The compiler I use doesn't compile for other instruction sets other than x86_64.

 

Plus this means I can install Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS onto the device as well with the freedom of easily developing my own Media Center software etc.

That's pretty cool. Too bad most flash card memory isn't the greatest, could make for an interesting system.

 

I think it'd fail due to the lack of storage.

 

You would have the real storage on a NAS
