If you're speaking to the original Atom, yes, it was bland.

If you're speaking about the C2000 SoC (Avoton or Rangely), then you're dead nuts wrong. These things are 2-8 cores (6-20W) of 2008-era Xeon fun. EPT runs, AES-NI runs, etc.

The PC Engines APU (we sell a TON) is significantly underpowered compared to the C2K series SoCs.

Soekris does not have C2000 series models available yet. Their top-of-the-line router seems to be currently a E6xx based board, ie using 4 year old Atoms.

Soekris is not the only game in town.
