The Broadwell Celeron 3205U in the Cubi is better than the Celeron 2955U/2957U used in the ChromeBox, HP mini, Zotac BI320, etc in all aspects other than price (since it's sold as barebones). It's the newest generation architecture, has higher clock speed, better GPU, and hybrid HEVC decoding under Windows. It's basically equivalent to the next-gen ChromeBoxes about to be released, but with full Windows support. Or you can think of it as a Broadwell Celeron NUC.
