But I agree, they are not suited to desktop use.
As a counterpoint, I'm using a board with a Celeron J1900 in my studio
presently. Admittedly for broadcast talk radio, so my requirements
might not be as large as yours. If I remember properly, the J1900 is
a quad core processor based off of the atom (silvermont) processors.
In my case, I'm better served by a larger number of smaller horses than
a couple large ones. I needed two monitors, so the on-board video
wasn't adequate. I went with an radeon HD5350 running the open source
drivers to simplify working with an rt kernel.
The upside is with the passively-cooled motherboard and video card, a
DC-DC power supply, and an SSD, I've got a fanless computer, so one less
(admittedly minor) thing to worry about.
