And I want to know your reason to choose X86 architecture rather than the ARM.
Is it related to the streaming function? Or the web browser?

 Not sure what "beagle bone" was being referenced... BeagleBones are
single-core 32-bit ARM processors; current production is 512kB RAM
(SanCloud BB Enhanced is 1GB) at 1GHz. They do, however, have 4GB on-board
eMMC so do not need an add-on SD card to run. They also have a real
Ethernet port along with analog I/O (RPi is strictly digital GPIO).

 The BeagleBoard X15 may be a candidate with dual-core ARM at 1.5GHz,
2GB RAM, dual Gigabit Ethernet, multiple USB-3 and eSATA, graphics
acceleration, and dual DSPs. -- and a cost approaching a high-end tablet or
a entry-level laptop.

 The UDOO X86 series have Intel processors running upwards of 2GHz and a
lot more memory.


 What is this focus on a web browser -- if I understand this thread, you
are not running a desktop environment on the unit. You may need to run a
web SERVER, that other computers connect to with web browser running on
them (web browsers on an RPi aren't the liveliest things around -- so many
are memory hogs that running anything complex in a browser on an RPi will
require swap space, and the delays inherent in page swapping)
