Equivalent to Raspberry Pi 4… Battery-powered single board computer

The Quartz64 model-A was developed by PINE64, which develops various open source hardware such as PinePhone, a smartphone, and PINE A64, a single board computer, and is developed by Raspberry Pi. It is a single board computer that has the same performance as the 4, but can be powered by a battery.

The Quartz 64 Model-A adopts a layout similar to that of the ROCKPro64, a professional single-board computer that appeared in 2018. Its main features include 4K 60Hz video output, SATA terminal mounting, battery drive capability, native e-ink display support, and support for up to 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM.

Looking at the main specifications, SoC is Rockchip RK3566, RAM is LPDDR4 2~8GB, SPI flash 128Mbit/16MB, storage space is up to 256GB microSD card, SATA 3.0 terminal, 16~128GB eMMC can be selected as an option. The size is 130×80×19mm.

The SoC adopted by the Quartz 64 Model-A is equipped with the Mali-G52, a GPU designed by ARM, along with the quad-core CPU Cortex-A55, which operates at up to 1.8GHz, announced by ARM in 2017. If you compare the performance of the Quartz 64 Model-A with Rockchip RK3566 and the Raspberry Pi 4 single and multi-core with Broadcom BCM2711, you can see that it has the same performance.

Fine64 explains that the quartz 64 Model-A calculation execution speed is 15 to 25% slower than the RockPro 64, a professional single board computer released in 2018, but it is a pleasure to be compared as it is a consumer single board computer. have. The release date of the product is still undecided, and the Quartz64 Model-A schematic diagram and datasheet are published on the official Fine64 wiki. Related information can be found here.

Through the monthly AHC PC and HowPC magazine era, he has watched 'technology age' in online IT media such as ZDNet, electronic newspaper Internet manager, editor of Consumer Journal Ivers, TechHolic publisher, and editor of Venture Square. I am curious about this market that is still full of vitality.
