Granted, I'm not an expert on either of these units, so please don't flame me. I'm just curious as to why you made that statement.

To be honest, I likely wouldn't buy a processor from either company at this stage. Neither one is particularly credible with respect to their processors at this stage of the game. That said, the features of the XMC-1 can be found here:

Given the choice between two budget processors produced by direct-to-consumer companies that manufacture in China, the Outlaw effort is the lesser product (to my eye) based purely on the published specs. Once they actually come up with shipping products and we can do a true apples to apples comparison, perhaps my view will change.

Best,
