Has anyone tried using the M3 rather than the M1 or Pro? From what little I can find about it on Wikipedia, it seems vastly superior to the both with 1.8GHz and 8 cores to the pro's 1GHz, and double the memory. Since I'm in China I'd be ordering from Taobao (don't worry about the Chinese, the specs are in English further down the page).
I'm considering buying one to take over from my current Banana Pi HTPC server. Although I've no real complaints about the old board I'd like to have something to try new things out on before installing them on my working server and I figure I might as well upgrade at the same time. If I buy pro it will cost me $35 dollars so the question is whether the M3 is worth paying double that? I can't see anything it doesn't have that the pro does (maybe bluetooth but I don't need that) and it would be nice to have the extra processing power to throw around.
