i would love to have a gaming board for a small Commander Keen cabinet with ultra low power reqs
Huh? You can already get a DOS capable gaming board that uses less power than the display would. If nothing else for $200USD you can get a “Hand 386”, yoink it out of it’s case and put it in the cabinet of your choice.
There’s lots of low power options out there for you! You can start your dream project NOW…there’s no need to wait!
200 USD is more than 140 USD more than the consoles that has the soc I was talking about, of course if budget is no constraint I could start all projects I got in my want part of my brain
I added an edit that brought the cost down to $80 but it’s possible to go lower, if you can deal with 16W of power draw then there’s a variety of old Thin Client for sale on Ebay that can be had for $40!
At that point the materials to build the cabinet would cost more than the computer running it. Get busy!

Edit: 10 Watts, $80, and more than enough power to play Commander Keen
