This is really exciting. It’s a leaked road map, so take it for what it’s worth, but wow! It just shows it won’t be long until we will see it come true and competitors chasing Intel.

Intel Compute Sticks with Apollo Lake chips coming in 2017 (leaked roadmap)

Credit liliputing.com:

“Intel’s Compute Stick is basically a fully functional, low-power PC crammed into a device that looks like an oversized USB flash drive. Plug it into the HDMI port on a TV, connect a power source, and you can run Windows, Linux, or other operating systems on a TV, monitor, or commercial display.”

“There will be at least two models:

* 2GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC storage, Windows 10 64-bit software
* 4GB of RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, no operating system”

It’s fun enough to boot to another OS on a flash drive.

Quite soon our kids can have a TV in their room. Or anywhere. Flip inputs to HDMI 2, and pull up their homework. Talk about a smart TV!
