Doubtful since these are low power mobile parts.

Hi folks
I suspect these will be employed in the next generation of MiniPC's. The 'Spec seems ideally suited for this type of device.

I'm still amazed that unless one is a really serious gamer more attention isn't given to these very small but very convenient and usually very cheap devices.

For file sharing, media streaming, basic "Officy type tasks" even running a VM these beat the classical "Desktop" computer hands down and with Wireless HDMI (very good now - again 'nary a mention of these devices - a decent Rx/Tx set costs around €50 - plus whatever sales tax is applicable in your jurisdiction so you can clear your desktop / workspace of a whole slew of thick HDMI cables.

In recent years with the proliferation of multi-monitor and multi computer set ups and loads of extra devices the amount of cabling required just grows and grows and even the "neatest of neat freaks" will inevitably end up with an inevitable load of cable "Spaghettification".

OK for business travelling many will still need a traditional laptop but for fixed stand alone desktops these mini pc's are remarkably fit for purpose.
