SoC used is HiSilicon (Huawei) Kirin 960, which has 4x Cortex-A73 cores whose performance is slightly better than Snapdragon 821 in most benchmarks.
It has 2x USB 3.0 ports, but no Ethernet since hte SoC used was made for smartphones and has no native Ethernet interfaces.
It does have a PCI-Express slot at the back in M2 form factor.
MSRP: $239
>>
too expensive.

>>60084540
>239
Never ever.
>>
with that money I buy a G4560 rig in my country, or eat 2 months frugally, fuck off
>>
orange pi zeros are $7/$9... and the pc ones are like $15
>>
Oh no, OH FUCKING NO.
I'm not paying $240 for a fucking $30 SoC with some extra $10 of I/O WITHOUT ETHERNET
What a fucking scam
>>
>>60084968
>$30 SoC
It's more like $60 for high-end smartphone SoC like Kirin 960/70, Exynos 8890/5, or Snapdragon 821/835.
>>
>>60085003
Kirin ain't selling at Snapdragon/Exynos prices, no way in hell.
>>
>>60085018
Huawei can't significantly undercut Samsung's prices significantly because of all the royalties they're paying to Qualcomm, Samsung, ARM, Nokia, and others every time they well a Kirin SoC.
>>
>>60085003
they sell em for around 25$/30$ tho
>>
>>60085064
SoC price jumped quite a bit in the past 3 years because increased fab cost at <28nm and Qualcomm demanding more and more money for LTE patents.
>>
>>60085088
sounds plausible, but the rest of the components make about 50$ at most lmao, this is str8 up robbery
