Intel has unleashed a new competitor to Raspberry Pi 3 with its new Joule development board, which packs in superior graphics and wireless connectivity....
It's nice to see that Intel hasn't been sleeping at the wheel...
One piece of information that is incorrect in Agam Shah's report is what he said about Intel:
"The challenge for Intel is to get developers to accept the board. Intel’s previous boards haven’t been widely accepted"
Intel boards were the standard in boards for many many years, and it wasn't until the early 00 did that trend change to boards that implemented fancy "Heat Sink" modules to chips...
Intel wasn't a flashy board and didn't look good inside a gaming system, so Intel didn't make the cut when it came to gaming systems...
However, Intel was still a standard in many Dell, HP systems which were the primary systems to buy until the advent of the Touchpad started taking off...
In 2010 or 11 Intel came out with their own gaming board, but it was too little too late and Intel decided to get out of motherboards all together...
sidenote: Or it might have been the stupid ass Intel jingle that would sound off everytime you rebooted your computer that couldn't be shut off :-(

The good thing about Intel boards with Intel CPU's is that they were built too last, even if their CPU fan went out...
If a fan went out on an AMD and you didn't know it, too bad, because your CPU would fry in seconds, but Intel's didn't run hot so you didn't have to lose sleep at night wondering if your fans were still running...
Believe it or not, computers weren't first developed in the "New Millennium" they came to fruition due to years of experience behind them...and that's a fact!
