This tiny development board packs impressive specs including an 8-core CPU, 3 TOPS NPU for AI tasks, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, PCIe 3.0, and support for 4K HDMI output, all in a Zero form factor. I'll unbox this mini computer, flash an SD card with Debian Linux, run performance benchmarks including Geekbench, test the onboard Wi-Fi and GPU capabilities, and evaluate it against my SBC tier list criteria covering price, features, documentation, software support, and overall reliability. Whether you're looking for a Raspberry Pi alternative for embedded systems, IoT projects, or just curious about ARM-based computing boards and how different manufacturers compare, this hands-on review covers everything you need to know about this affordable Allwinner-based board and whether it's worth your money for hobby electronics and maker projects. 🔗 *Resources* - Reddit Discussion: - Product Page: - Documentation: - SBC Tier List: - Reddit SBC Community: - Tier List Playlist: - SBC Playlist: 🛒 *Shop:* 💵 *PayPal:* 📺 *Other Channel:* @platima 📷 *Instagram:* 👨‍💻 *Reddit:* 📈 *Benchmark Results* - Geekbench V5: (Okay this did GOOD for single core) - Geekbench V6: 📚 Chapters - 00:00 Introduction & Overview - 00:57 Unboxing & Hardware Tour - 05:56 Flashing & Setup - 07:46 First Boot & Desktop - 09:49 Testing & Benchmarks - 14:47 SBC Tier List Explanation - 20:25 Tier List Scoring - 24:08 Final Thoughts & Wrap-up #Platima #SBC #Radxa
