Phoronix: ODROID-N2 Offer Six Cortex-A73/A53 Cores For $65~82, Good Performance In Linux Benchmarks

Hardkernel's newest single board computer is the ODROID-N2 that they sent over a few weeks ago for benchmarking. The ODROID-N2 is built around the Amlogic S922X SoC and features four Cortex-A73 cores and two Cortex-A53 cores, options for 2GB or 4GB of DDR4 system memory, eMMC connectivity, Gigabit Ethernet, and four USB 3.0 ports for starting out just above $60 USD.

In other news, we've been waiting for the hardkernel odroid-H2 (x86) forever. There are literally no chips available from Intel.

The price is without delivery which is $25 or something crazy.

For me it's $129.50 after adding a power plug, a 32GB EMMC, and the $18.10 shipping their tool calculated for me. That's not bad considering it can run a KDE desktop and is good enough to be an office PC.

I suppose that like is common with most ARM boards, it does not run a mainline kernel, right?

It's common on release not to run mainline. Give it 6 months and it'll no doubt be in there.

I run mainline on all of my arm boards. On some the emmc doesn't work. On others the wifi doesn't work. For my purposes it's good enough.

A bit sad there is no Type-C with DP mode.

How well does this System perform with AV1 & HEVC decoding?

If we can buy a computer on ebay for $130, I wonder if it's more powerful than this board.
