Rock Pi X ➹

I really like that everyone is now using the Pi as a sort of universal form factor, but also a bit sad that this is still using an Atom x5-Z8350 from ages ago (I have two equivalent Z83ii boxes) and that the HDMI out can only do 4K at 30Hz.

It’s as if everybody just keeps hashing out what they can do with Intel’s dusty low-end portfolio without even trying to lift the status quo up from “slow and pokey”, which is what this will likely be when running Windows 10.

But it supports PoE, which might be quite useful for industrial applications (I keep running across places running their OPC stuff in great hulking dinosaur PCs from another era).

I just keep expecting a little more from SBCs these days.
