Weltnachrichten – AU – Asus announces Tinker Board 2 and 2S single board computers

Single-board computers have become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the Raspberry Pi. Asus introduced a competitor called Tinker Board back in 2017. Now we get a second generation board with two model options.

As NotebookCheck reports (via the French publication Clubic), Tinker Board 2 and Tinker Board 2S are exactly the same except for one function: The 2S has 16 GB of eMMC memory and a micro SD card slot, while the Tinker Board 2 Contains the micro SD card slot only.

Both cards use the 64-bit system-on-chip Rockchip RK3399, which consists of a dual-core ARM Cortex-A72 with 2 GHz and a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 with 1 GHz. 5 GHz. The GPU is an ARM Mali-T860 MP4 with 800 MHz. 2 GB / 4 GB dual-channel LPDDR4 RAM options are available.

The expected performance gain over the original Tinker Board is 1. 5x and Asus support Debian 9 Linux and Android 10, although Android support is not expected until the first quarter of 2021. We don’t know a price or an official release date yet, but the first Tinker Board costs $ 60 and it’s likely that Asus will try again to get a similar price, especially considering the 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 75 US dollar costs.

The latest product to be named Raspberry Pi is a keyboard with a Raspberry Pi 4 inside that has everything you need except a display for under $ 100 or just the keyboard for $ 70.
