I can see the merits of both though, the Pi is just a little under powered for a HTPC, it's slow when using one of the XBMC variants (or the last one I tried on it) and if Intel price it right then I can see a decent market for it.

The Pi is very good for it's intended market, but some of the things people are using it for are pushing the limits.

It's a shame the intel one also requires a fan, an atom variant would be ideal really :)
it has no 2d acceleration. Last I heard the community was working on harnessing the soc 3d capabilities to power the 2d but it's a long way off.

Class 10 SD card sorts out the sluggishness, as does pumping the clock up to 800mhz.

Might give the clock a go, I was using a class 10 :)

I've got my clock @ 800 and the SDram @500
It already makes a massive difference.

When I get heatsinks, I'm going for the ghz.
