No, not both at the same time.  "One or more of [feature list]" doesn't
mean "all at the same time".  I can think of various cpu-hungry apps and
various low-power/wearable apps.  It would be great to be able to have
both at the same time (GA144?) but that's much more difficult.

By tiny I mean something like this:

It doesn't have ethernet or a high end cpu, but it's small and low
power.
