Bben to Launch an Apollo Lake HDMI TV Stick Powered by Intel Celeron N3450 Processor

Intel is planning to launch “Michigan City” Apollo Lake Compute Sticks sometimes with year, but Bben, after launching MN17A Apollo Lake mini PC, may be able to launch their own Celeron N3450 TV stick before Intel does, as Netbook Italia reports the company showcased such product at the Hong Kong Global Sources Electronics Fair.

No info on the power supply, which begs the question:

What’s the actual power of these intel solutions? (measured at the wall socket)

Ok, so using your power usage numbers, it seems for twice the power used you get 2x more generic code performance (or even more if the code targets x86 SIMD)

If those intel devices cost roughly 2x more and were not burdened with a windows licence, that could make ARM solutions much less attractive.

And, the recently released ARM Compute Library should help close the SIMD gap.
