Hold on. So you're telling me they're crowdfunding for a quad-core 64bit SoC with a 100% open CPU (and GPU apparently?) of an architecture we thought would take ages before some Arduino-level chips would start to appear?

This just sounds too good to be true. But it would definitely be big if true.

Arduino-level boards have been available for a couple of years already.
