ARM - SBC, PC

[Dark Kaeser]

This mini PC has an ARMv8 processor and AMD Radeon RX 550 graphics​

The computer measures 225 x 187 x 47mm (8.6″ x 7.4″ x 1.9″) and features HDMI 2.0b, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, and USB 2.0 ports as well as mic and line out audio jacks. It also comes with a USB Ethernet adapter since some Linux distributions may not support the built-in Ethernet card.

Under the hood it has 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD which is user replaceable thanks to an M.2 2280 slot.

At the heart of the system is Phytium’s D2000 processor, which is a 14nm, 64-bit processor with 8MP L2 cache, 4MB L3 cache, and support for DDR4-3200 memory and 34 PCIe 3.0 lanes.

Acho que é a primeira board com o novo Rockchip 3588

ROCK5 Model B RK3588 single board computer is up for pre-order for $79 and up​

Radxa ROCK5 Model B (aka ROCK5B) specifications:

• SoC – Rockchip RK3588 octa-core processor with four Cortex-A76 cores @ 2.4 GHz, four Cortex-A55 cores @ 1.8 GHz, an Ar, Mali G610MC4 GPU, a 6TOPS NPU, 8K 10-bit decoder, 8K encoder
• System Memory – 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB LPDDR4x
• Storage
  • M.2 2280 socket for NVMe SSD (PCIe 3.0 x4) up to 2,000 MB/s
  • MicroSD card socket
  • eMMC flash socket
• Video Output
  • 2x HDMI 2.1 up to 8Kp60
  • 1x USB-C via DisplayPort alt. mode up to 8Kp30
  • Three independent displays supported
• Video Input
  • 1x micro HDMI input up to 4Kp60
  • 2x MIPI CSI connectors
• Networking
  • 2.5 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with PoE support
  • Support for WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 M.2 module
• USB – 2x USB 3.0 Type-A ports, 1x USB 3.0 Type-C port, 2x USB 2.0 ports
• Expansion – 40-pin GPIO header
• Dimensions – 100 x 72mm (Pico-ITX form factor)

The company will provide Android 12 and Debian “Buster” images based on Linux 5.10 LTS for the board.

So how much does the board cost exactly? Those are the standard prices:

• $129 with 4GB RAM
• $149 with 8GB RAM
• $189 with 16GB RAM

This is getting quite close to Intel hardware, but ROCK5 Model B has some features not found in most platforms at that price including HDMI input, MIPI CSI camera interfaces, GPIO header, and 2.5GbE.

Bastante interessante. Leva 1 M.2 NVMe com 4 Lanes Pci-ex, Rede 2.5 Gbits numa Lane Pci-Ex e o M.2 para o Wireless também está ligado por uma Lane Pci-Ex. 3 saídas de video também é uma feature interessante.
Também gosto de terem escolhido o formato Pico-ITX. Em principio, ajudará na procura de caixas.

A nível de performance é provável que irá envergonhar muitos Mini PCs x86.

https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/compare/11371316?baseline=11144544

Este RK3588 está a 1.8 Ghz, enquanto o daquele SBC parece que irá estar a 2.4 Ghz. Aquele computador x86 é o Beelink U59, que fiz review há uns tempos, no Portal. A provável diferença entre os 2 processadores, é que o Celeron N5095 é um processador com 15W de TDP, tem uma gráfica um bocado "cortada" e precisará quase sempre de Cooling activo. Duvido que aquele RK3588, mesmo a 2.4 Ghz, chegue aos 15 de TDP.

Sim muito interessante, mesmo.

- Mixtile Blade 3 – A Rockchip RK3588 Pico-ITX board for server applications

Some of the use cases include simple clusters and high-density servers with up to 75 Blade 3 boards in a standard 2U 19-inch chassis that would get 600 cores and the equivalent of 630 GHz of computing power in 1500 watts power envelop.

Mixtile Blade 3 selling for $160 with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage, $195 in 8GB/64GB configuration, and $259 in 16GB/128GB configuration. Those are still pre-order, but the Mixtile shop reads “preorders will end by March 31 and ship in April.”

- $249 Rockchip RK3588 8K mini PC comes with up to 16GB RAM

Mekotronics told CNX Software the sample cost is $249 with a shipping lead time of just 7 days. I was unable to get the details about memory and storage capacity for the sample in time for this article, but I’d suspect at this price it should be 4GB RAM with 32GB eMMC flash.

- QuartzPro64 SBC coming soon with RK3588 SoC, 16GB RAM, $300+ price tag

The QuartzPro64 single board computer will be equipped with 16GB RAM, 64GB eMMC flash, and with a large 180×180 mm form factor, offers plenty of ports including two HDMI outputs, one HDMI input, two SATA ports, two Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 connectors, and more.

As we’ve already found out, Rockchip RK3588 is not exactly cheap, and systems based on the processor usually costs about the same as Intel Jasper Lake-based hardware, with lower performance, but support for features such as 8K video output and decoding, 4K video input, MIPI CSI cameras, and possibly lower power consumption. Pine64 QuartzPro64 is expected to cost over $300, and it may even be subsidized at that price. The board should become available to developers in the next few weeks.

Eu não percebo bem a escolha desse formato para servidores, a não ser que o objectivo seja ter um Chassis muito curto. Isto porque essas boards não aproveitam o comprimento de um bastidor.
É verdade que devem caber bastantes em 2U, mas o resto do bastidor, em profundidade, vai ficar às moscas.
Há a possibilidade do servidor ter uma "baseboard" e aí preencher o Bastidor em comprimento, mas visto que estas boards são pequenas e o TDP também, faria mais sentido ter um formato "régua", onde estariam vários computadores, de forma independente, no mesmo PCB, com a vantagem de não ser preciso uma Baseboard e estarem todas as Blades acessíveis pela parte frontal.

• Dimensions – 180 x 180 mm

Que escolha de formato mais bizarra. As dimensões escolhidas não fazem sentido. Não podiam ter reduzido a Board a 170 X 170 mm, que são as dimensões de Mini-Itx? Por 1 cm em cada lado, essa board não tem um formato standard.

 

[Dark Kaeser]

No caso da Mixtile, pelo menos na página deles não vejo nenhuma opção para além da pré encomenda da própria SBC, https://www.mixtile.com/store/

se bem que têm lá esta imagem, na descrição da Mixtile Board 3

o que dá a entender que deve haver uma espécie de board para "encaixar" estas que estão fixas numa estrutura que parece funcionar como fixação/suporte e cooler passivo, e não usar os cabos/fitas para as conectar, agora se esse rack é vendido por eles ou não
Ali na imagem na "Régua 3" é possível ver que na parte visível da mesma estão 10 boards, e parece ser um 2U 19" standard, que é que referido na própria página

By integrating the 75 Blade 3 in a 2U standard 19″ chassis, you will get a performance monster of 600 cores and 630 GHz computing power. All this consumes less than 1500 watts of power.

https://www.mixtile.com/blade-3/


Aquilo será provavelmente um "também dá para", não me parece que o uso em servidores fosse o propósito.
Se bem que também há no mercado racks/chassis mais curtos, e se de facto aquilo for customizado como parece ser, parecia ser a opção mais lógica.


Em relação à Pine64, honestamente não faço ideia do porquê.

Certo, imaginei que fossem colocados numa "Baseboard", para não ter só a parte da frente encaixada. No entanto, se é para colocar numa "Baseboard", a board individual com o SOC, não precisa de conectores, porque devem estar na "Baseboard" para se ter acesso a eles. Isto é, faria mais sentido uma versão SOM (System on Module), semelhante à que têm no site:

Outro pequeno problema é que desta forma, não se tem acesso aos nós pela parte frontal, mas isso pode não ser problema, deslizando o servidor totalmente ou parcialmente.
A vantagem é ter o mesmo PCB para a versão isolada e em servidores, mas se também criaram uma versão SOM, acho que teria sido preferível usar essa em servidores ou ter uma versão "régua" com vários.

A da Pine64 também não percebo. A board parece ter conectores dos 2 lados. Talvez seja por isso. Seja como for, acho que seria sempre preferível terem feito uma Motherboard Standard Mini-Itx.

 

[Dark Kaeser]

Mas as versão SoM não é com esse chip, ou tem o RK3568 (Quad A-55) ou o RK3399 (Hexa-core A72/A53).

Esse que colocaste é o que tem o RK3568, e a carrier board é a Edge2 ou podes adquirir um kit do Edge2 IoT que inclui uma caixa

e o RK3399 vem num formato MXM, o MXM 3 (80 x 60mm), e depois tem uma carrier board a Edge

A Pine64 talvez seja apenas uma developer board, em vários artigos é sempre referida assim, mas também não estou a ver o porquê de um developer necessitar de uma board que não tenha um formato padronizado, mas talvez eu não seja geek ou nerd o suficiente

Oops, tens razão. O Blade 3 tem o 3588 e aquele SOM tem o 3568. É o que dá terem nomes tão parecidos.

 

[Dark Kaeser]

Pois a designação dos chips na Rockchips também é meio confusa, eu quando vi as primeiras referências ao 3588 também fiquei pois pensava que seria na mesma linha do 3568, só depois é que percebi que afinal era algo interessante (e já foi lançado também o 3588S com menos algum IO), pois pensava que só quando saísse o sucessor do 3399 é que haveria algo interessante.

A Mecotronics (uns posts acima) lançou mais um modelo com o RK3588, mas menos IO

Mekotronics R58 is a cost-optimized Rockchip RK3588 SBC going for $169 and up​

The R58 comes with fewer ports notably only one Gigabit Ethernet port, one SATA interface, and the RS485/RS232 terminal block and M.2 socket are gone, but it does add an extra HDMI output port, meaning it could support up to four independent displays. It still features up to 16GB RAM and 64GB eMMC flash.

O NanoPi R5S tem mais um concorrente, com o mesmo chip, mas menos IO

FastRhino R68s router offers 4GB RAM, dual 2.5GbE, dual Gigabit Ethernet for $80 (in China)​

FastRhino R68s is purely a router in the traditional sense, and you don’t get an HDMI port acting as a display interface or an M.2 NVMe socket to add extra storage as found in NanoPi R5S. The plastic enclosure used with R68s will not be able to cool the Rockchip RK3568 as well as the metal enclosure of the FriendlyElec device, but there are plenty of ventilation holes so that may be sufficient.

• SoC – Rockchip RK3568 quad-core Cortex-A55 processor @ up to 2.0 GHz with Arm Mali-G52 MP2 GPU, 0.8 TOPS AI accelerator, 4Kp60 H.265/H.264/VP9 video decoder, 1080p60 H.264/H.265 video encoder
• System Memory – 2GB or 4GB LPDDR4X
• Storage – 16GB eMMC flash for OS
• Networking
  • 2x 2.5GbE RJ45 ports (via 2x Realtek RTL8125BG-CG PCIe controller)
  • 2x Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports (via 2x Realtek RTL8211F-CG)
• USB – 2x USB 3.0 ports
• Misc – Power button, Reset button, recovery pinhole
• Power Supply – 12V/1.5A via DC jack
• Dimensions – 126 x 115 x 25 mm
• Weight – TBD

Isto não é bem uma SBC. Tecnicamente é, mas ao mesmo tempo, dá para perceber que foi feita para ser uma Board de um Mini PC. Seja como for, é uma SBC com um Intel Pentium N6000 + transformador, alegadamente com um "price point" de 99$.

O Pentium N6000 não é um Intel "Atom" qualquer antigo. É da ultima geração de "Atoms", com o nome de Jasper Lake e o Pentium N6000 é o topo de gama da Intel nos que têm um TDP de 6W. O CPU tem 4 Cores, 1,1 Ghz Base, 3,3 Ghz Turbo, 4 MB L2 e iGPU com 32 EUs a 850 Mhz.
A Board tem 2 SO-DIMMs, até 64 GB de RAM, 1 M.2 2280 NVMe para Storage e 1 M.2 2230 para o Wireless, 1 USB-C, 3 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, HDMI 2.1.

A Board é passiva.

Se vier mesmo a 99$ com transformador, pode ser bastante interessante.

P.S. - Ele não é ARM, por isso não sei se fica bem nesta thread.
