How fast are the CPUs in these compared to say a modern i3, i5, i7 CPU? I know they will be a lot slower just interested in how much slower?

The CPU on this one is the same as on the Intel Compute Stick, a Z3735F.

For a $17 processor - That thing really isn't all that bad!

If the stick has enough power to play the majority of MAME games, this might be a nice addition to the home entertainment rig. I bought an Ouya a couple of years ago for this purpose, but I just didn't like it. Running a TinyXP installation on this stick with MAME32/MESS32 with a Bluetooth keyboard w/ touchpad from my comfy chair would be pretty sweet.

I have an Intel Compute Stick and can confirm that it plays MAME very well. But then again the Rikomagic mk802 plays MAME just as well ..
