Powered by Arm 6-core system on a chip, with the new 64-bit Armv8 architecture, the Rockchip RK3399, Tinker Board 2 offers significantly improved performance versus compared to other popular SBC boards. It also features Arm big.LITTLE technology, which is a heterogeneous processing architecture that pairs two very different processors together in a single SoC. The big.LITTLE software automates task allocation, ensuring the right CPU core for each process. The upshot is that Tinker Board 2 delivers up to nearly twice the performance of the original Tinker Board, and is significantly faster than many competing SBCs.
