Versão Cluster do Mixtile Blade 3 que tem o RK3588:

https://www.crowdsupply.com/mixtile...-breakout-board-and-announcing-a-stretch-goal

O conector U.2 transporta Power e uma Ligação Pci-Ex Gen3 4X. Ficam ligado em daisy-chain. Cada ligação ainda fica com uma porta SATA.
Inicialmente, só suporta IP over Pci-Ex. Basicamente, é criada uma placa de rede virtual onde a comunicação é feita via Pci-Ex.
Parece que no futuro pretendem suportar RDMA.

Está bem engraçado para quem quiser um "Mini Cluster".

 

[Dark Kaeser]

Também já tinha visto o artigo no CNX, criaram uma placa, a imagem de cima é o "lado interior" que encaixa na board

The U.2 breakout board comes with a 6-pin connector 12V power, pair of SFF-8643 (mini SAS) connectors for PCIe daisy-chaining, and a SATA port. Since short SFF-8643 cables are hard to find, Mixtile will provide custom 15-cm cables with the breakout board. They will also release the pinout so people can make the mini SAS cables themselves if needed.

340$ a versão 1 GB RAM/8 GB Storage e 390$ a versão 4 GB/16 GB.
https://www.firefly.store/goods.php?id=170

Diferenças de preços entre os 3 SKUs um pouco ridículas e os preços são bastante puxados. É certo que já vem com CPU/RAM/Storage, mas estamos a falar de um A55 com quantidades pequenas de RAM e Storage.

Já agora, não percebo porque é que não colocam um slot Pci-Ex aberto ou que seja 16x mecanicamente. Aquele slot impossibilita o uso de muitas placas Pci-Ex.

Pois os preços ainda continuam muito puxados. Só mesmo para quem além da curiosidade precisa de desenvolver nessas plataformas, porque de resto só para o sector embedded/industrial.

Orange Pi 5 could be the most affordable Rockchip RK3588S SBC​

Orange Pi 5 (LTS) is an upcoming single board computer powered by Rockchip RK3588S cost-down octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 processor that should offer one of the best cost/performance ratios on the market once it is launched.

Just like the other Rockchip RK3588/RK3588S boards we’ve seen, Orange Pi 5 SBC will support Android 12 and Debian 11 initially. Some may be disappointed at the lack of NVMe or SATA storage, but that’s because Rockchip RK3588S only has two Combo PIPE PHY interfaces with the following capabilities:

• Combo PIPE PHY0 – SATA III or PCIe 2.1 up to 5 Gbps
• Combo PIPE PHY2 – SATA III, PCIe 2.1, or USB 3.1 Gen1

The DEBIX Model A SBC is sold on OKdo for about $109 excluding VAT, and the I/O board and LoRa board can be added as options for respectively $27.6 and $36.4, again excluding the 20% UK VAT. I was unable to find the metal enclosure for sale. More details may be available on the product page on the Polyhex website.

NanoPi R6S Review – Part 1: Unboxing, Teardown, OpenWrt 22.03, and iperf3​

NanoPi R6S is a Rockchip RK3588S powered device that can not only work as a router with two 2.5GbE ports, but also as a mini PC with HDMI and USB ports, and an Edge AI computer thanks to the 6 TOPS NPU found in the processor.

Orange Pi 5 Rockchip RK3588S SBC launched for $60 and up​

Orange Pi 5 (LTS) is a single board computer powered by Rockchip RK3588S cost-down octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 processor that offers one of the best cost/performance ratios on the market with pre-order pricing starting at just $60.

Besides the removal of the 32GB eMMC flash, the company has done some other changes due to Rockchip RK3588S having only two Combo PIPE PHY interfaces with the following capabilities:

• Combo PIPE PHY0 – SATA III or PCIe 2.1 up to 5 Gbps
• Combo PIPE PHY2 – SATA III, PCIe 2.1, or USB 3.1 Gen1

ODROID-N2L is a smaller, low-cost variant of ODROID-N2+ Arm SBC​

ODROID-N2L SBC is a smaller and cheaper version of the ODROID-N2+ single board computer powered by an Amlogic S922X hexa-core Cortex-A73/A53 processor and offered with 2GB or 4GB single-chip LPDDR4X memory.

The biggest downside that I see is the complete lack of network connectivity as Ethernet, WiFi, or/and Bluetooth can only be added to the board through (USB) adapters. One of the tricks to make the board smaller was to replace the DDR4 RAM chips with a single LPDDR4 chip that also lowers power consumption and improves performance thanks to a 20% higher DRAM interface clock frequency.

Arm-based PCs to Nearly Double Market Share by 2027, Says Report​

Personal computers (PCs) based on Arm architecture will grow in popularity and their market share will almost double from 14% now to 25% by 2027, according to Counterpoint Research's latest projections. The ability of Arm-based hardware to run Mac OS has allowed Apple to capture 90% of the Arm-based notebook computer market. However, the full support of Windows and Office365 and the speed of native Arm-based app adoption are also critical factors in determining the Arm SoC penetration rate in PCs. Once these factors are addressed, Arm-based PCs will become a viable option for both daily users and businesses.

Conclusion
Arm-based PC SoCs offer several advantages over x86 CPUs, including customizability, lower power consumption, and integrated AI and GPUs. The rise of Arm-based PCs is expected to continue with the support of Windows and Office365, native apps, and industry experts. This trend is likely to lead to the integration of laptop and tablet form factors and the use of Arm-based SoCs in small devices and VR headsets.

Youyeetoo provides support for Android 13, Debian 11, Ubuntu 22.04, and Buildroot all based on Linux 5.10. The wiki is still very much in progress, but when Arnon reviewed the Youyeetoo X1 board with Ubuntu 22.04 he found the documentation to be fairly good, and I’d expect it to be the same for the new R1 SBC in due time.

Youyeetoo also sells it directly on their online store for $89.10 until December 31, after which the regular price is $99. Shipping is quite higher than on ***** however. Right now, the highest configuration is 8GB/64GB, as the 16GB/128GB and 32GB/256GB models are not for sale just yet. All versions of the R1 board including the ones with 32GB RAM and 256GB eMMC flash are also listed on Amazon, but shown as being “currently unavailable”.
