    More information:

    "The platform is geared toward making modern Power systems available to developers for a fraction of the cost of full fledged server systems (Servergy's primary market). While the board is aimed at increasing the ecosystem and community around Linux-on-Power, the pricing is sure to attract hobbyists and students as well. While Servergy did not say the exact price, they are aiming at a sub-$200 system."

    Ben Collins says in a comment on the P-Cubed:

    "We are definitely aiming this to be a low-end version of our CTS product line."

    As I said I believe the CTS-1000 to feature Freescale's e500mc-cored QorIQ P4080 SoC. However, I'm not aware of any dual-e500mc chip. My feeling is that at the announced low price it should be some e500v2-cored chip (QorIQ P1 or P2, probably P1022 with DIU due to HDMI traces coming from the chip).
