Actually, the J5005 runs at 2.8GHz and is substantially higher performance than Apollo Lake based J4205 (brand new core and 4M L2). Check out Intel's ark page (https://ark.intel.com/products/128984/Intel-Pentium-Silver-Processor-J5005-4M-Cache-up-to-2_80-GHz). Be nice to see a full review.

What is the use case and market for such a device ?

Not saying there isn't. I just don't know it.

The motherboard with the CPU costs $100 or less. The whole platform uses less than 5W in idle and 25W in load when configured with a small power supply. What's not to like?

You can also fit in a very small and compact ITX case, making it the smallest, cheapest, lowest power consumption fully upgradeable PC.
