If it's anything like the C1 was, it's definitely a hacker's project. Not quite in the same league as the RPi as far as community support goes, but plenty of "raw horsepower." The C1 I have performs noticeably quicker than my Pi2.

A rundown of the C2 specs indicate it should have good performance.
