This is a productization of the MACCHIATObin board... it's a real beast, spent some time looking at the MACCHIATOBin dev board when I was doing my little science project based on it's little brother from GlobalScale (EspressoBin).

ClearFog GT 8K is more user friendly compared to the dev boards (both double and single shots)

Specs:
  • Marvell ARMADA A8040 quad-core Cortex ARM A72 (up to 2Ghz)
  • up to 16GB DDR4 DIMM
  • M.2 (optional support via adapter)
  • MicroSD
  • eMMC
  • 4 x 1GbE switched LAN (RJ45)
  • 1 x 1GbE WAN (RJ45)
  • 3 x mPCIe (USB 2.0 + PCIe)
  • 1 x USB 3.0
  • 1 x SFP+ (up to 10GbE)
The Marvell Armada line has always been good at a chip level - with consumers as the Linksys WRT1200/1900/3200 lines, as well as dev boards like the ClearFog and what not (think everything from Airport Extreme 802.11n on Kirkwood to Turris Omnia lines).

Looks very interesting. If it has a decent case available and gets OpenWRT support, I would not hesitate to buy one. Support for kernel 4.4 seems... old...
