Info:
PINE A64 is Powerful
The PINE64 CPU is a quad-core ARM A53 64-bit processor that runs at 1.2GHz.

The GPU on the PINE A64 is a dual-core MALI-400 MP2 and runs at 500MHz, capable of 1.1 Gpixel/s throughput. This means the graphics capabilities are slightly higher than the original X-Box's level of performance.

PINE A64 board is powered by the latest 64-bit quad core ARM A53 CPU and delivers up to 20-30% better performance than other 32 bit open source counterparts.

PINE64 is Expandable
Add different hardware interfaces to your PINE A64 as you see fit. Depending on whether you pick the PINE A64 or PINE A64+, the PINE A64 ships defaults with two USB ports, HDMI output, 3.5mm Audio/Mic Output, ethernet port, and two I/O expansion buses. On the more advanced PINE A64+ model, you will receive three additional ports to add optional accessories such as: camera module, touch panel module, and the LCD Panel port.

By being so affordable at $15, PINE A64 now opens up doors to new opportunities for everyone. Use it to build just almost anything.

Operating System

Because PINE A64 is an open source platform, you can load anything you want but we suggest to pair PINE A64 with Ubuntu, Android or OpenHAB IoT. By aligning the PINE A64 to be compatible with these operating systems, you basically get access to over 1.7 Million apps* on the market today, from utilities, games, and media apps.

Updatable, Swappable

Unlike many other boards and computers, PINE A64 stores its boot disk on a removable MicroSD card capable of supporting up to 256GB. This allows users to simply update, re-install, or even swap operating systems by simply removing a card and inserting a new one. Additional storage if needed can be added by plugging in a USB thumb drive or external hard drive.

We're More, but Also Less

The typical desktop computer or server will operate anywhere between 75 to 300 watts. The PINE A64 board provides the same power of desktop computing at a mere 2.5 to 3.5 watts. By simply leveraging already existing power efficiency found in table architectures, PINE A64 board is able to save you so much more in power without sacrificing anything in performance. The PINE64 runs on 5V power through MicroUSB or 3.7V battery through on-board power management.

It's only a matter of time before things like this make the Raspberry Pi look like the original Atari Pong console i.e. in the future people will ask what purpose did that "POS" serve?
