I'm unhappy about the memory size.

And I think it would be cooler if this board could be made compatible with the Framework laptop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6khGznGeyY


$249 is a pretty not bad price!

It's hard to square & compare the numbers versus other offerings. The XDNA engine on AMD's Strix Point APU can do 50 TFlOps INT8, so the 67tflops here isn't vastly higher. But XDNA is a pretty limited setup, for inference only really.

The iGPU on Strix Point can do 9tflops of good old fp32. Unsure what the TFlOps drops to on the new Jetson here as it goes from INT8->FP32. But probably still has a very healthy lead.

It does make the ~$120 ARM SBC out there look a little silly. Six A78 cores is way better than we can get elsewhere. And then with colossal memory bandwidth and a huge GPU. It lacks the CPU (and power efficiency) to compete with Qualcomm's mobile oriented Snapdragon X Elite fully, but would be a very interesting possible daily driver desktop.

Pretty middling io options. Single DisplayPort 1.2. 6x lanes of PCIe. 1Gbe. 4k60 decode but no video encode. Very curious if 7-25W power implies it idles at 7W; that feels like a lot to me.


the alternative (eGPU ) is the A500
