A new powerful single board computer and Raspberry Pi alternative has been created in the form of the Odroid-N2 which offers seven times the speed of a Raspberry Pi for double the cost. Supporting Android 9 Pie and offering connectivity via USB 3.0 and 4K video the single-board computer is priced under $100 from $63 and equipped with a Amlogic S922X Processor (12nm) Quad-core Cortex-A73(1.8Ghz) and Dual-core Cortex-A53(1.9Ghz).
Supported by ARMv8-A architecture with Neon and Crypto extensions and Mali-G52 GPU with 6 x Execution Engines (846Mhz). The mini PC can also equipped with a choice of either 2 or 4GB of DDR4 RAM with 32-bit bus width. Storage is provided in the form of 1 x eMMC connector offering 8G, 16G, 32G, 64G and 128G together with a handy microSD slot offering DS/HS modes up to UHS-I SDR104.
Connectivity is provided by:
– 1 x GbE LAN ports (RJ45, supports 10/100/1000 Mbps) – Realtek RTL8211F (Ethernet transceiver) – LED indicators (Green: 100mbps, Amber: 1000mbps connection)
– Optional WiFi USB adapters
