The Efika has a much higher BOM. For the 5125 there is really not much needed to be added. No pci on the board reduces complexity of the board drastically.
The TWR 5125 board goes for 119 US$ already - and includes some extras (for example usb to ser and some flash).
The 50 US$ would require real bulk volume though, but I strongly guess below 80 US$ is a realistic estimate for medium production runs (that means not Acube's homeopathic numbers, but a few thousand boards each run).
Just the bare board with RAM, no extras includes. Ultra low cost for your tinkering hobby.Why not?
