Here’s an interesting look at the (far?) future of computer architecture.
Novaspirit Tech checks out the world first 1.8″ ryzen powered SBC.
It even slightly smaller then the raspberry pi packing a ryzen r1606G @ 2.4 ghz and Vega 3 GPU. did i mention it’s also fanless!!! in this video we be doing a unboxing and benchmark comparing to other SBC boards.
