The new Avoton (4/8core Atom refresh) is coming. It is looking to be a promising platform for entry level NAS uses. Boards available supporting 32GB, Intel ethernets, and even one with lots of SATA ports (if you don't mind AsRock), in a mini-ITX form factor. Sounds near perfect to me for many purposes. Paired with something like the U-NAS chassis, it could make for a very attractive option.
ServeTheHome has posted their benchmarks.
I am as usual skeptical of benchmarks that exercise all available cores. That's great for some workloads but not so great for ZFS / NAS uses. So take it all with a grain of salt. Still, very attractive. I may finally have my N36L replacement (poor little box, you've taken such a beating!).
