Unlike the Raspberry Pi series (which I love very much), the Rock Pi X will use Intel CPUs instead of Arm CPUs. This should allow us to easily run WCG projects as the Linux for x86-64 architecture is already supported. It uses the Intel Atom x5-Z8300 CPU (click link for Intel ARK page). Looks like a 4 core, 4 thread Cherry Trail CPU launched in 2015 @ 1.44 GHz base clock and 1.84 GHz boost clock. 2 Watt Scenario Design Power. Curious, the Intel ARK page says, "Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) is 2 GB" but the Rock Pi X will come with your choice of 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB of RAM, so I don't know if I'm reading that correctly, as the limit looks to be 2 GB?
