So Khadas uses the faster SoC but ODROID N2 delivers faster benchmark numbers. Maybe time to overthink your cooling approach? Can you run GitHub - ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench: Simple benchmark for single board computers to generate also some insights why your numbers look lower?
RPi 4 also supports USB OTG on the USB-C port according to Raspberry Pi 4 on sale now from $35 - Raspberry Pi
anyone get an coupon for the free Headsink?
Odroid N2 uses a massive heatsink that totally rekts the form factor. Khadas uses the same form factor (VIM) for their boards (which is what got me into getting the Edge-V) which limits the cooling since the SoC is in the same face as GPIO pins. So my approach will be making my own cooling system using the whole case as a passive heatsink.
No need for a coupon - we will send it with your VIM3. 
Hello @tkaiser,
Here is the result of sbc-bench.
I did a small modification: comment the CheckLoad function, becase the system load is always bigger the 0.1 and prevent the sbc-bench to work.

ahh okay… i ordered my VIM3 already
Have the coupons been sent out?
I got mine… and ordered already… now wait until August… 
@eviltrooper i feel cheated. I thought the “launch” date would mean they will be able to ship it already. This was very bad move, just to have “release” the same day as Raspberry PI4. I hope they will reimburse all people who bought “coupons” and ordered it not knowing shipping date will be 1.5 month from now.
Yes, that was not very nice. Maybe after the First batch (Coupon Users) will shipped in August. Nur Not for is?
Hi @atomek @eviltrooper:
We should be able to delivery the VIM3 in advance, and the Coupon users will get the VIM3 first.
Thanks for the support!
Sounds good 
Looks ok. 7zip doesn’t use everything of it’s cpu’s (500% vs 550% on the Odroid N2) so it scores a bit lower than expected. But the single core scores are what they need to be.
CPUMiner also does great. Best scores I’ve ever seen on an ARM SBC.
The temperature is fine too.
I think the strange results are software related.
Here my Odroid N2 results with OC of 1.9Ghz on all cores.

Here the ones of the Khadas VIM3.

@tkaiser Doesn’t look like there’s a thermal issue.
A question!
How will the board be delivered, will it come with the wifi antennas, or we should find some antennas to connect to it? I guess the board is delivered bare?
Tade
Hi @Urajmal
Same with other Khadas SBC, the VIM3 package will include the two antennas in the package as below:
Users can also use external antennas with I-PEX header.
Have fun!
Thank you. Just added it to the list together with RPi 4: sbc-bench/Results.md at master · ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench · GitHub
VIM3 is only outperformed by one x86 SBC but I guess on a day like this (your launch day screwed up by RPi Trading people) this doesn’t matter that much…
@tkaiser thanks for update, we will do a test again when the 4GB version VIM3 Pro is ready 
Current testing results based on VIM3 Basic(2GB LPDDR4).
How many days is the delay in sending out coupons?
Will there be an extension of coupon validity?
