Apollo Lake based Intel Compute Stick reportedly coming in 2017

Intel's Compute Stick is a tiny lower-power PC stuffed into a USB flash drive, that can be connected to an HDMI enabled TV to carry out computing tasks. So far Intel has released models with Atom Bay Trail, Cherry Trail and Core M Skylake Chips. 

Now it appears that Intel is working on a new Compute Stick featuring Apollo Lake chip. According to a leaked road map, Intel will release a new Apollo Lake based Compute Stick in second quarter of 2017. 

The Apollo Lake based Compute Stick will arrive in two models ㅡ one with 2GB RAM, 32GB eMMC storage and Windows 10 software, while the other will feature 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC storage and no operating system. 

Both models will include 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, a USB 3.0 port, a USB 2.0 ports, HDMI connector, headset jack and HDMI-CEC support.

The new Apollo Lake based Compute Stick are most likely to be cheaper and less powerful than Core M models, but faster than Atom-based Compute Sticks that was released in 2015 and 2016.
