I believe it too. GPUs have an insane amount of power, dedicated power on a very small form-factor.

Maybe some more testing with that software you could come up with some benchmarks and compare with RouterOS?

Its a them academy project as i trough and don't even know do it is opensource implementation.
And as i read its needed to install in mt some form of sdk and drivers for vga, don't even know what more, but i think this will impact hdd size usage and will be limited to only x86 platform.
