Edit: Let's find out first - it has very low clocks gpu wise.

This certainly looks like a promising solution. In terms of power consumption it is great: check! Passive cooling: check! Proper GPU performance in Kodi (1080i deinterlacing and resizing with high quality methods): TBC, but hopefully will work as well (please don't tell that the low gpu clock will be the bottleneck nowSmile )

This could easily be a Kodi + small home server/NAS build as an all-in-one solution (Kodi as frontend, VDR backend + VNSI-client, home file share and storage over NFS and/or SMB, small SFTP server, download box for latest linux distro with Deluge, and even a Plex Media Server for one or two streams, especially without transcoding). Everything except Plex would be a piece of cake for the SoC and the board. Even my Atom 330 based server runs Plex excellent, even with transcoding one stream and streaming another, so it should be not a problem.

Probably it will be limited to 2 Sata ports, but it would be easy to add a PCIe 4 (or more) port SATA card and there you go with a 6 drive config, system running from a small SSD, RAID for critical data and plenty of storage for media files.
Considering all this, it would use around a same amount of power as a NAS with so much more performance and without any limitations.
Wonder when will these board be available and at which price. Especially looking for the solutions from ASRock.

Sorry for the long post. BTW, what deinterlacing and resizing would work on these boards, what do you think?
