The CPU is such a small fraction of the total cost of digital signage (primary costs are the display, the space rental, and the service) that it hardly matters whether they overspec the CPU.

Exactly. Saving potentially 50W on the CPU seems almost meaningless when the signs themselves will be several hundred W each.
