Looks like it should end up somewhere in the ballpark of $95.10, which is by far the best price I've seen on a RK3588 board!
Make sure to get the 8 GB kit with the US power adapter.
Feel free to add their crappy little heatsink:
I expect it will need something better, to avoid throttling. Perhaps we'll see. I never use the adhesive on those things. I clean it with isoproply alcohol and then use a PC-grade heatsink compound. As I discovered on the Pi 3, it still doesn't make up for using a crappy little aluminum heatsink, when what you really need is a big copper one.
Or this one, which is the biggest copper heatsink I can find that will fit:
It's 20 mm x 20 mm x 7 mm high. The white outline on the PCB is about 19 mm x 19 mm, but I figure there's no harm in putting it a little off-center or even crowding the RAM.Last edited by coder; 14 November 2022, 05:19 PM.

It also has a NPU, but I have no idea what state the software support is in, nor is it a priority for me to find out.

And when can we expect to see decent support for ARM GPU-accelerated greaphics and video in a web browser (ANY web browser!) without a massive hit to CPU or janky YouTube H.264 hack plugins?
And when are we going to see the mass adoption of a standard firmware interface for ARM, like System Ready??? Cuz until then, ARM ain't ready...

From what I can see, they all use the BCM2711, though the 400 uses a C0 stepping. It seems extremely unlikely that any significant design changes would be introduced in a stepping, rather than a new model number.
