The APU is great. The APU2 was recently released: http://pcengines.ch/apu2b4.htm

Improvements over the first version: quad core, Intel Gigabit NICS, new CPU supports AES-NI and AVX (AMD-V), ECC memory, and a USB 3.0 bus. Still some issues being ironed out, but will make excellent router hardware. Note that WiFi is a relative weakness on BSD, and you'll need to carefully choose a chipset to support hostap mode. The Atheros abgn cards are generally the best.

I wonder if anyone would release a home router based on an Annapurna chip. Looks like pretty ideal specs the last time I looked.

An APU with Intel ethernet? This changes everything!

(Lack of Intel ethernet ruled out the APU out for me)

Also - How did you know about this? I can't find that page by browsing their site and I didn't even know this existed!

The board has been in beta testing for a few months, folks were discussing it on the OpenBSD -tech list.
