| | | Tiny 1GHz RISC-V SBC Launches at $39 |
| The MangoPi project from Beijing Wadora Technology Co. teased its MangoPi-MQ1 SBC last October with minimal details. The tiny RISC-V board has now arrived in a Crowd Supply campaign as the MangoPi-Nezha MQ. MangoPi has opened $39 preorders for the 40mm x 40mm SBC that runs Linux or RT-Smart on a 1GHz, RISC-V based Allwinner F133-A SoC. |

| | | Router Board Features Wi-Fi 6 and Dual 2.5GbE |
| Banana Pi has been ramping up its router board product line over the last year and is now prepping a Banana Pi BPI-R3 model with a Mediatek MT7986 SoC designed for Wi-Fi 6 router boards. Like the BPI-R2 and BPI-R64, the BPI-R3 has 4x GbE ports plus a WAN port. It also adds dual 2.5GbE ports via optical SFP cages. |

| | | Two Firms Roll Out COM-HPC and COMe Type 7 Modules |
| Intel announced two new Xeon-D processors that use its 10nm Ice Lake-D architecture: the 4-20 core Xeon D-2700 and 2-10-core Xeon D-1700. The processors offer up to 3.0GHz/3.5GHz clock, Intel DL Boost and AVX512 NVVI for AI, Intel TCC and TSN, 100GbE LAN support, and up to 32 PCIe Gen4 lanes. Since then, Congatec and Adlink have each announced several COM-HPC Server and COM Express Type 7 modules based on the new Xeons. |

| | | Coffee Lake Mini-STX Features 8x USB 3.2 Gen2 and 5x M.2 |
| Poland-based BIVROST, which also offers a Pixelink PL-D755CU-BL industrial USB 3.0 camera, has launched a Mini-STX board for machine vision, signage, security, and other edge computing applications. The BIVROST Lite5 was manufactured by Advantech based on a BIVROST design and features Advantech’s “new” SOM-5899 COM Express Basic Type 6 module, equipped with 8th or 9th Gen Coffee Lake-H processors. |
|
| Vortex86 CPUs Gain New Life with Linux Lernel Detection and a 3.5-inch SBC ICOP announced that its x86 based Vortex86 SoC is automatically detected by Linux 5.16, thereby enabling new non-legacy applications. The company recently launched a 3.5-inch “VDX3-6726” SBC and “VDX3-ETX” module based on the up to dual-core, 1GHz Vortex86DX3.. |
