New Single Board Computer Lets You Swap Out the CPU and Memory 122
ganjadude (952775) writes "I stumbled upon this little scoop and thought the Slashdot crowd would be interested in. The new kid on the block, known as the HummingBoard can handle faster processors, more RAM and will fit the same cases for the Pi. Also, you can expand the memory and the CPU is replaceable! The low end model starts at $45 and the high end costs $100. So tell me guys, what are you going to do with yours?"
$45 model is a single core iMX6 (an ARMv7) with 512M of RAM, the $100 model has a dual core i.MX6 with 1G of RAM. Full specs.
So you can reuse the PC board? (Score:3, Insightful)
PC boards aren't that expensive. What's the point?
I'd rather have fewer connectors. Fewer points of failure.
