You read it in the Daily Ma^WRegister..

Galileo is not about being a PI clone. It's a dev board (so will be
pricier anyway) so people can bootstrap building devices using the new
32bit x86 processor design. It may eventually lead to low end PI like
devices and Linux taking over your washing machine of course 8)

Architectually its also very different to PI and aimed at a different
world. For example its got floating point but doesn't have video.
