DM&P? I think their "Vortex86" range seems to be the modern take on "low-end x86 designed for embedded markets".

Wonder what happened to some of the others-- the ALI embedded 386SX seems to be suddenly popular in those "Pocket 386" laptops, but I'd expect there are warehouses full of old AMD Elan/NSC Geode style parts waiting to get tapped.

i am fairly certain i have an AMD geode device and while it is tiny (4x3x1.5 inches), it certainly isn't low power, compared to a rapsberry pi or an intel quark.

also those vortex86 are pricey, around the same price as a NUC, at least for the daughtercards, and none really looked "general purpose" although i guess a daughtercard with a computer on it was not unprecedented. apple and amiga both had such. i think apple even did apple on apple before anyone else considered if this was a good idea
