ASUS Tinker Board 2 / 2S – powered by Rockchip ARM® 6-core SoC

ASUS Tinker Board 2 / 2S enables performance computing at low power consumption. The new ASUS Single-Board Computer (SBC) Series is based on a Rockchip ARM^® 6-core CPU and features ARM big.LITTLE™ technology. The essential difference between the boards (2 / 2S) is the additional OnBoard Storage of 16GB eMMC on Tinker Board 2S.

Main Features:

ASUS Tinker Board 2 / 2S is powered by ARM^® 6-core Rockchip RK3399 with new 64-bit Armv8 architecture. The ARM big.LITTLE™ technology allows the pairing of Dual 2.0 GHz Cortex-A72 and Quad 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 processors in a single system on a chip (SoC). The board is equipped with a Mali-T860 multi-core GPU, designed for complex graphics applications.

Additionally, a variety of software and support options are offered:

Easy setup tool for configuration and performance optimization
Pro-grade admin plus FOTA (firmware over-the-air) support
Android 10 support for better 3D computing performance

Compared to many other popular SBC’s ASUS Tinker Boards 2 / 2S shows improved performance and speed. In addition, the board is Microsoft Azure certified.
