It's a mini computer. Literally just a RPI style board with as much hardware as their 36w power supply allows. It's a lousy product as the really good one is $259, which means it's competing against home built PCs that are obviously more powerful.

Connor Young
Excuse u it's a motherboard+RAM+mediocre CPU WHAT A DEAL
Also it's small and people dig that
Hudson Brown
Wait, really?
In this case it's actually not a bad deal for that size and price.
Alexander Murphy
A x86 raspberry pi? I want one.
Alexander Perez
>no ram included >8gb emmc
Into the trash it goes.
Logan Brooks
all of the chips offered for this stupid thing support PCIe but none of them have any PCIe slots. What a pile of garbage

It's a computer.

I think intel is giving people free chips or secretly funding the crowd funding campaigns for these things. There has to be at least 10 similar versions by now. Pretty sure it's some sort of scam to convince investors they are making huge progress in IoT products.
They don't compare well to SD820 or other highend SoCs. If there were demand I would expect SD820 boards everywhere.
Josiah Jackson
Its basically the same as the atom boards they slap into every tablet and mini pc on the market.
I wouldn't buy it.
Lucas Moore
I'd like something like that for a home server, but none of them get 2 ethernet jacks and 2 SATA ports (with SATA power from the power adataptor) for redundant storage.
Zachary Sullivan
If it had 2xLAN it would be pretty useful.
Julian Collins
It's nice to see that mini computers are getting so much more powerful and going down in cost so fast will get easier to make all kind of small diy projects
You can't run anything on ARM; most packages are unsupported. X86 and 64 support virtually every package in existence on the other hand
Cameron White
Install gentoo, faggot
Christopher Taylor
are you guys retarded? at least look it up b4 posting.
Justin Roberts
this is an anonymous image board, friends.
Henry White
Wow, if that does end up costing only $300, I'll be very much impressed, even if it does come with 10 Mossad botnets.
Luke Richardson
It's a x86 Atom based computer with programmable GPIO ports.

Into the trash it goes.
Justin Nguyen
I imagine it supports Arduino shields, should work if you can write drivers for it.
Robert Garcia
Debian testing has packages for, OpenSSH, Apache, nginx, Mysql, php, python, OpenVPN, Postfix, Dovecot, OpenSSL, nfs, zfs, xen and lxc. No KVM, but apart from that, what can you possibly need more?
Isaac Cox
how the fuck would an ARM be able to saturate 10Gbe links?
It looks interesting, however pic related is fucking retarded.
Owen Hall
Why should they remove features from their off-the-shelf tablet chips?
Dylan Sullivan
>how the fuck would an ARM be able to saturate 10Gbe links? Max theoretical throughput of SATA3 is 6Gb/s Max theoretical throughput of 4 SATA3 drives in RAID5 is 3x6=18Gb/s
Josiah Sanders
>Max theoretical throughput of SATA3 is 6Gb/s >Max theoretical throughput of 4 SATA3 drives in RAID5 is 3x6=18Gb/s
thats great math there
maybe you can explain how an ARM chip would have enough processing power doing routing to saturate a 10GbE link?
To do 10GbE worth of routing, you're pretty much in Xeon territory.
Jose Ross
I honestly don't know. Care to link any sources backing up your statements?
