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.
@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.
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. http://ix.io/1HE9
Here the ones of the Khadas VIM3. http://ix.io/1MFD
@tkaiser Doesn’t look like there’s a thermal issue.
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?
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…
