It's astonishingly beefy, with games-console (or more) levels of computing power. Very few people need that on an embedded board.

Last-gen game consoles levels though, which are more than 10 years old now.

This isn't an "embedded board".. It's got a GPU, it's got PCIe, it's 64-bit with 4 cores.

Yes it is: embedded is a use category, not a performance specification. It's certainly not a "desktop" or "consumer" product as it doesn't even have a case. It's designed to be embedded within another product or system.
