This is the answer to the question of how to move from prototyping to production with the Raspberry Pi. So far the answer had been to either deploy (and pay for) a bunch of peripherals you don't need (applications most certainly don't use everything on a board) or to move to a different/custom board.

With the compute module, that answer is now much more concrete. People will still build own boards, but most of the complexity will live on the SOM.

Very exciting times, can't wait to see if the gambit pays off.
