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!

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.

@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?

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?
Well, I don’t expect numbers to be any different or are you then also using a different type of DRAM with overall more bandwidth?
BTW: I’m a bit confused. Are the VIM3 prices of $99.99 (Basic) and $139.99 (Pro) limited for the first batch or final prices that will remain the same later?

VIM3 pricing of $69.99 (Basic) & $99.99 (Pro), are promotional prices, which ended on 24th June.
Retail prices are $99.99 (Basic) & $139.99 (Pro). The difference in prices are not due to a change of SoC.
You can still get $20-off VIM3 (until 22nd July)!

Hi @skh87, coupons will be valid till 22nd July. Please PM @A-Abby if you still haven’t received a coupon.
I tried to buy as soon as I got a coupon and the price was already 139.99, never saw 99.99 price.
Was that some sort of special thing outside of regular store?

@vladk the coupons sent to you are so that you can buy VIM3 at $69.99 and $99.99. They are not meant for you to get a discount lower than $69.99 and $99.99.
For example,
VIM3 Pro:
$139.99 —> Apply Discount Coupon —> $99.99
VIM3 Basic:
$99.99 —> Apply Discount Coupon —> $69.99
Hope this clears things up!
