The second product is a 28nm (or lower) Quad-Core competitor to the ASpeed 2600, a Boot Management Console SoC used to manage Servers in Cloud Computing Data Centres world-wide. The product will also be suitable as a SBC (Single Board Computer) with "Raspberry Pi" style interfaces and, with both USB-C, PCIe host and client, can act as an independent low-power affordable Graphics Card (a 3D version of the Volari X11) with modest 3D and Video capabilities for use typically in Data Centres and Embedded Industrial PCs, as well as a USB-C Graphics Adapter (similar to DisplayLink products).
