I'm not sure where they got the idea that it has 4GB of RAM or an Atom CPU. The press release (
http://www.linksys.com/en-us/press/releases/2014-01-06_Links...
) says it has 256MB of RAM, and every other site says the CPU is ARM based.

The press release itself even says "1.2GHz dual-core ARM-based processor"

I guess directly from the linked article: "[..] RAM is a generous 4Gb so it shouldn’t choke on lots of open sockets like lesser devices. [..]"

It doesn't take GBs of RAM to handle boatloads of open sockets. My 54GS with 32MB of RAM would handle multiple wired machines running torrent clients without any slowdown (when running a 2.4.x kernel).
