Odroid H4 single board x86 computer - three new models

[@rafaelcisnerosgomez7295]

PFFFFF Odroid now is the king!

Who makes the ethernet ports, Intel or Realtek?

[@custompchardware]

The H4 series uses the Intel Ethernet Controller I226-V

[@mando7558]

@@custompchardware thank you

[@Cowayger]

Speed of memory is the same as ddr4 was dual channel and ddr5 is twice speed but single channel. So I doubt there is any significat speed difference.

[@custompchardware]

Yes, will be interesting to see how they perform.

[@EffectualPoet]

I am guessing the DDR4 dual channel is faster, but would like to see this tested. However, the N97 CPU may be more important.

[@jmwintenn]

hardkernel posts stats on their product page. claims it's much faster.

[@tolpacourt]

How the heck do I order one if they don't take credit cards? I've never bought anything using a bank transfer.

[@custompchardware]

I'm not sure where you are placing your order but the UK distributor takes credit/debit cards.

[@tolpacourt]

@@custompchardware Weird.

But they accept paypal

Actually, the dimensions of H2+, H3, and H3+ are 110mm x 110mm, while the H4 family is 120mm x 120mm. Also, Hardkernal has no excuse not to include wifi on these SBCs when they provide 4 SATA ports and a mini-ITX conversion kit.

[@custompchardware]

Yes those are the sizes of the H2 & H3 models, the H4 needed to be larger to accommodate the extra display port and Sata ports. Hardkernel appear to have decided that multiple 2.5Gb ethernet ports was their favoured direction. You can always add WIFI using one of the USB ports. Having WIFI on the H4 base model would have been a nice touch using the board space freed up by not having SATA ports on it. But as that would have meant a board redesign, perhaps we'll need to wait for the H5.

[@jmwintenn]

people that use these boards for work dont need or want wifi. i'll never understand wifi whiners, "oh no, a cord?!"

[@tolpacourt]

lol. adding a wifi card would be trivial.
