The Radxa company, according to the CNX-Software resource, has released a single-board computer Radxa X4, which is considered as an alternative to the Raspberry Pi 5. The device is made on the Intel Alder Lake-N hardware platform, and the OS can be Windows 10/11, Debian or Ubuntu Linux.
The new product has dimensions of 85×56×20 mm. An Intel Processor N100 chip (4C/4T; up to 3.4 GHz; 6 W) is used, working in tandem with a Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller (two Cortex-M0+ cores), which is responsible for IO functions. The amount of LPDDR5 RAM can be 4 or 8 GB (in the future – 16 GB).
