Nvidia Jetson Xavier. Yes, it's $1300. But it's also more powerful than a $10,000. workstation. Check it out:

And they can slap two of those chips on a board for you with a couple extra GPUs. Price not yet announced, but just what you need for your autonomous air taxi project. I mean who isn't working on an autonomous air taxi?!

Very interesting, are you working on any cool projects ?

Goal is a new higher level cognitive robot architecture on top of ROS.; I'll post more about that soon (I have a bit up over on Researchgate). Mostly got this for research - want to compare it to the Xylinx Zinq ultrascale+ capabilities. (You get dual core RT on the Zinq, in addition to 4-core non-RT CPU plus the fabric; with the Xavier you get 8 cores with the 512 tesla core GPU. So I expect performance to differ depending on the algorithm, but mostly I'm interested in graph processing, not just ANNs... so will have to run my own benchmarks. Ultimate goal is a robot you don't program, but train as you might an assistant.

ODROID HC2/HC1 would be especially interesting for Massdrop since the primary use case is a big clustered filesystem - most folks interested would need to buy several. Should get the numbers up for a better discount.

Why are the Banana Pi and Orange Pi not yellow and orange respectively? That's just a missed opportunity. GET ON IT MANUFACTURERS!

This would certainly be a more reliable way to purchase a Rock64!

Perhaps the better question is: What is your needs? More parallel threads? Faster CPU or onboard DSP for offloading DSP stuff? Serving web stuff? "More powerful" is a desire, but especially if it's going to end up battery powered, better consideration is what do you need to use it for.

I'm in the market for an Odroid XU4 right now. I want a firewall + adblocker (adblocker similar to pi-hole). Gigabit ethernet, fast EMMC for the OS, decent RAM for a SBC.
