Android as in the x86 port of it?

Intel & ARM?

Read the specs: http://www.iconsole.tv/iconsole-tech-specs-faq/
Not very clear... the Box has a x86_64 CPU, but how does it handle Android? ARM CPU or is it the x86 version of Android...

So packing Android alongside things seems to be all the rage now.

Isn't it a migratory thing?

You can use a Emulator, for Android apps.

I was hoping for Ouya releasing a SteamOS console with its Android app store offered in parallel by emulation similar to that in SailfishOS ... oh well, perhaps it will come...

Great news ifi t is CHEAP and has PCI-E

I think that this cheap Intel chips with a discrete NVIDIA card can beat actual MS Xbox and Sony PS4 AMD consoles with cheaper prices for better performance

And I have just seen a demo of the new Nvidia - ARM K chip and if Steam games can be compiled for ARM can also be a great cheaper alternative to AMD consoles

if Steam games can be compiled for ARM

They can't, aside from those already having ARM ports.
