In brief: IoT startup Particle looks geared to shake up the single-board computer market with their latest creation – the Tachyon. This credit card-sized Linux computer packs the kind of serious hardware normally found in mid-range smartphones. You get an 8-core Qualcomm chip, 5G cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi 6E, and dedicated AI acceleration.
In a nutshell: Radxa has introduced a new single board computer that could be a viable alternative for those struggling to get their hands on a Raspberry Pi.
