One very important detail you are forgetting, or better 2, are the PRU
microcontroller cores that run at 200MHz, independently of the arm core
(and GPU), which makes things like bit-banging in realtime, ethernetcat,
etc very easy, without using any main core cpu cycles.

I received mine last week and I'm enjoying exploring it, it looks much
more mature than the Raspberry Pi, although the current distribution
that it came with (Angstrom) still has some growing pains.

cheers,
Nuno
