Like PCs, developer boards like Raspberry Pi are getting more horsepower to run faster applications and 4K graphics.
Take the Mediatek X20 Development Board, which started shipping for $199 this week. It is crammed with the latest mobile chips that give the developer board PC-like computing power.
It has a 10-core Mediatek X20 chip, which is being used in new mobile devices from companies like Meizu and LeEco. The board comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and it’s not yet known if it will be upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat.
