All must remember all the noise that rose after the launch of Raspberry Pi. Someone said that Pi is capable of everything, there were those who doubted the possibilities and a skeptical admitted that on Linux this is quite enough. Yesterday it was announced by the Korean product - ODROID-X. Call it Pi analogue difficult, as both are quite different configuration, and from this and the prices are, respectively, far away from each other. Let's look at what this product and is it worth to you to think about ordering it. ODROID-X - motherboard from the Korean manufacturer Hardkernel based on ARM. Looks like Pi and its analogs, but in fact the case before us is the leader among similar devices. For skeptics immediately present configuration, since the device is what the show itself. We already know that the board consists of:
CPU Samsung Exynos brand with the four cores and 1.4 GHz
Mali graphics processor with 400 MHz
RAM type DDR2 1GB
Video output mini-HDMI
Audio output jacks and standard 3.5 mm audio input
Exit the LAN 10/100 MB
Entry MIPI CSI camera
Slots for SDHC cards and the like
Port GPIO, which translates video signals, and can also be used to program the board
And now to the other data on ODROID-X. Along with all these twists, board size is about 9 by 9.5 inches, which equals 2.5 boards suspended Pi. Power consumption has increased but not significantly compared to Pi, laptops or home PC. At this time, the price board at around 129 dollars, almost $ 100 more than the most fancy Pi. Should you buy such a thing? Manufacturers claim that ODROID-X can easily provide the work of the last version of Ubuntu, and Android. The device comes with Android 4.0.1, which is very nice for the money. Maybe better to buy a tablet or Pi - think about it after watching ODROID-X at work:
