It has 24 cores of Cortex-A53 CPUs, which are intended for "mobile" applications (smartphones and similar). IMO, it would be great to get more powerful processors. But, if this thing is working for Debian and can handle sustained load on all 24 cores, that's already better than some of the armhf boards we have. According to that Debian mailing list post, this can do both 32 and 64-bit. Steve, do you find the SynQuacer can handle being fully loaded for extended periods of time? --OgqxwSJOaUobr8KG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAluOyOMACgkQJkb6MLrK fwjzLg/6ArZFb84cEwl55QY/R6UErONa6mL8+0w2BvFTiYEK4xuBh8qeOh5fH/0H KyCDi9UnTJ3FxnqkgfS/cg8R1A0iM/CCbxrDH5Raz6Y1Yd5egSQZKkVMSZ773wZ5 G4iTh7a5y97u8Via7mgJIFJAX2vEFn4ne25dAI1tOlDnk1d13ZGqW95CbPTXPdbO xjctV3YIMxTWGIfnUC8SS5bcR9fzMTKkHEsaB/2VVkXpK86UpV+585zE9Ve9MiYZ J7eXDbcrFPZFJvo/db4DPOirjFTHNEX6vvHlQJYMMqUGl386dhQMGsAIE58Qf3ZF e70MPa3mrY+H+Deg7n7Xjfb+sEJf7zU5vmEGZ1bv9/zqVpHwf1ym7WIQClXD8wUR SQYWS672AXXXrN6p/ATHxjOeZsifsZaemY8y0Ny+493NyK33jAu0dK2KWVNwsUXs dUpfOsCWo2CTJczYytA70X+J2kCm0lH3fs+yvrIheZOf0V/2t0xE2RYWmr7widic i6DNT+1QojCIFgzrkPt6y2Wlnb/4bq9N6QP7zF+zkgKPSad29P6uPytzPw4eA+yW VRHMUejNtVjjrp/wYqujndGw33IuOIGcMO3/2m7LbcH0ZXTDXHJBRrk4beXqPj7/ tu00Ow2m7EMloBoY6zRr0IN168xCSlpw+xTYw3hX4s/Mth4Gzg4= =JT81 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --OgqxwSJOaUobr8KG--
