SBC wars

Seems like the SBC wars are producing some remarkable equipment
at affordable prices. The RPI 2 B is still my favorite.

£45 was for early birds, only the £53+ rewards are still available.

£53: 2GB Ram; 32GB eMMC
£86: 4GB Ram; 64GB eMMC

IMO this is classic VapourWare, I'll be surprised if this ever solidifies.

What I find curious is that the KS page doesn't mention what processor or clock speed it has, though it would have to be an x86 chip at a pretty decent clock, say, at least approaching 1.5GHz, to run Win10.

LattePanda is featured with quad-core 1.8Ghz, 2/4G RAM, 32/64 GB eMMC, WIFI, Bluetooth 4.0 and USB 3.0, plus onboard Arduino processor!

Though the feature is quite cost affordable. But it seems that the official team didn't support Linux yet. Their product is just pre-installed the Windows 10.

Okay...so there is the speed part. While that doesn't say...it pretty much has to be x86.

Read down a bit and see
"Atom processor Quad Core 1.8GHz CPU"
on one of the diagrams.
and
"Intel Cherry Trail Quad Core 1.8GHz".

I note that they claim they have HDMI and "Display Connector" video out, but say the Pi only has HDMI.

Oh, also that they run "Full Edition of Windows 10" while Pi runs "Linux/Android"???
[edit]
Also, the Pi2 only has 17 GPIOs (compared to the LP's 22) and both devices support Wake on LAN. Hmm...

[mikronauts]

I suspect most of the I/O is from the "arduino" part, and very slow...

"Intel Cherry Trail Quad Core 1.8GHz".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_I ... 2814_nm.29

Interesting... so it's a 64 bit device and the 1.8GHz is a "burst mode", not a default speed. Still, the same applies to the Pi's 900MHz.

Looks like it's worth the money! I think they will be taking my money

[drgeoff]

If it is coming with a legal version of "full Win10", MS must be letting them have it for nothing or next to nothing.

AFAIAA only Intel Tablets are eligible for ZERO Cost OEM Pricing

This is for W8.1 but believe W10 is the same, but the Latte may be using a Tablet SoC to get around Licensing

Strange the other KickStarter Intel x86 SBC did not mention W10

Ummm...from the linked page (my bold):

UP, the credit card computer board for makers powered by Intel Quad Core Atom X5-8300 1.84GHz, running Linux, Windows 10, and Android

It does not state Windows 10 Licensed is included in price

And there're 1 serial port and 2 GPIOs from Atom processor only...

Oh...In the latest FAQs, the official guy mentioned that it's completely pre activated... How it could be with this price..

I agree, this seems a bit risky to me.......caveat emptor!!
I'll just stick with my trusty RPI 2.
