If you are interested in learning more about the performance of the $50 NanoPi NEO4 mini PC you will pleased to know that the Tech Republic website has published a full performance review providing insight into what you can expect from the components and hardware.
Originally launched towards the end of 2018 the mini PC is equipped with a Rockchip RK3399 processor supported by 1GB DDR3-1866 RAM and fitted with a Mali-T864 GPU. “The RK3399 system-on-a-chip (SoC) used by the NanoPi NEO4 relies on two sets of CPU cores, a dual-core 2GHz Arm Cortex-A72 paired with a quad-core 1.5GHz Arm Cortex-A53 in a Big.LITTLE configuration, which swaps tasks between cores for greater power efficiency.” In comparison the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ mini PC is equipped with a quad-core 1.4GHz Arm Cortex-A53 processor.
