Unrelated - Xaiver - like SoCs running at full capacity would provide very good performance while being cheaper, smaller and consume less power than an adequate CPU + GPU combo. With Microsoft working on Windows 10 for ARM platforms, modular ARM PCs could prove interesting. A casual web browsing / light gaming machine built with phone components could easily cost around $50 with a MTK / Rockchip SoC and 8GB LPDDR4 / LPDDR3 RAM, and more powerful machines could prove capable for gaming.

The 8GiB RAM alone would cost around 50$ at least right now. RAM prices are rising up again since last summer due to lack of production capacity, and many PC DIMMs have already more than doubled in price since then.

Dayum, didn't think RAM for phones was that expensive.
