Man. Intel's naming scheme is starting to be similar to the mess AMD used to have... a quad Celeron for example. By name it seems to be two generations ago, but is actually last year, and is a quad for pete's sake.
Not that it really matters for what these machines will likely be used for, but I can't imagine there wasn't room for a second DIMM slot. It just seems silly to me to handcuff these machines like that. That aside, I'm happy someone is going the silent route in a small form factor using some of the better processors at a reasonable price point.

did they mention anything about availability? I'm very interested on that ci320 to use as a HTPC..creed3020 - Monday, June 2, 2014 - link
+1 with that idea. It looks like an excellent contender for an HTPC build.ganeshts - Monday, June 2, 2014 - link
Availability in US is slated for August, a bit far off :(LauRoman - Monday, June 2, 2014 - link

Yeah, I wish it was easier to tell the difference between Core based and Atom based Celerons and Pentiums.charliem76 - Wednesday, June 4, 2014 - link
