I was searching for a SoC a few days ago, not a quad 64 bit SoC, something more modest, in fact, any piece of shit with one SATA and 2 GbE, and... Well there is nothing for 5 dollars a piece, the cheapest one I find was $15, Allwinner have one, for $20, all 32 bit dual core, a bit overkill for my needs but ok, about those quad 64 bits, well... There are some pretty expensive high end SoC, quad 64 bits falls more in the high end side, I didn't saw any for less than $20, whe do you by your quad 64 bits SoCs for $5 a piece?
