Ah I believe those are powered by chips originally intended to be used in industrial control use cases.
Loads of old manufacturing machines & software out there that are built around a 386/486, and given intel hasn’t exactly been making those models in a good while, some companies stepped up to provide compatible replacements for those situations.
Someone on AliExpress had the idea of using them in a more pc-like product for retro gaming, and voila we have all these modern 386/486 clones
I’ve seen a whole raft of 386/486 machines on AliExpress recently. I need to investigate what’s actually in them

Yeah they seem to be M6117 386 soc. They’re a bit pricey to buy on a whim, but I’ll keep an eye out, might be fun to tinker with.
