I'd like to point out that Ars Technica, Gizmodo and Tech Republic also reported on Intel's Compute Card with no mention of other similar projects...

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/01/intels-compute-card-is-a-pc-that-can-fit-in-your-wallet/

http://www.techrepublic.com/article/ces-2017-how-the-tiny-intel-compute-card-could-revolutionize-iot-device-management/

http://gizmodo.com/intels-incredibly-tiny-compute-card-could-soon-run-your-1790826525


I was originally going to suggest that maybe Intel independently came up with the same idea, but then I saw just how eerily-similar the promotional images and pitches were to EOMA68 and now I can tell its clearly copying us...

I sent a 'correction' to the BBC about it. Probably wouldn't hurt if
other people pointed out that Intel is not the first to market with
modular computing and that a crowd funded 'open source' project beat
them to it. EOMA68 already  exists and the very first prototype
devices have been produced for desktop and laptop housings. Unlike
Intel's solution this one is completely open for anybody to adopt. The
video got it wrong in saying it won't be seen in desktops/laptops any
time soon given that they very first housing prototypes were a laptop
and desktop.

Pretty hilarious how much of a direct clone that Intel card is. Imitation is
the sincerest flattery I guess?
  in a word... yeah :)
