Sure, it won't set the hearts of gamers racing, but will make for slicker Windows UI experience on a lightweight IoT device. Of particular interest to users seeking to build something interactive is support for DirectX 11 via drivers for the GC7000Lite GPU. The i.MX 8M is a relatively powerful beast, with a SoC based on Arm Cortex-A53 and Cortex-M4 cores, replete with 4K video and support on NXP's 10 and 15-year Longevity Program. The Public Preview is the result of a multi-year collaboration between Microsoft and Dutch chipmaker NXP Semiconductor that kicked off with IoT Core on the i.MX 6 and i.MX 7.
