Asus releases Tinkerboard 2 and 2S in Raspberry Pi form factor #Tinkerboard @ASUS
Tom’s Hardware reports the Asus Tinkerboard SBC line is getting new boards. The Tinkerboard 2 and Tinkerboard 2S will feature a form factor close to that of the Raspberry Pi.
Both boards are designed to use the Rockchip RK3399 chipset and ARM Mali-T860 MP4 GPU. There will be two options for memory: 2GB and 4GB of dual-channel LPDDR4 but both boards share the same hexa-core package of a dual core Arm Cortex A72 at 2 GHz and a quad core Arm Cortex A53 at 1.5 GHz. The Tinkerboard 2S comes with onboard 16GB flash storage, which should be quicker than typical micro SD cards.
Asus claims Tinkerboard 2 and 2S will deliver a performance increase 1.5 times the original Tinkerboard.
