Great video and review. Chris! Also fun that Mr. Scissors not only got a cameo he got an encore! I've been interested in the XU4 for about a year now. In your comparison video when you run it against the Pi3 and maybe the Asus board i'd be interested to see if performance per watt of current used can be calculated. Everybody on youtube seems to want to bill this thing as a "Pi3 Killer!!". But if the development doesn't stick around neither will the board. The Pi has always had a good community development support. And likely will for the foreseeable future. I REALLY Like the XU4, though, and would like to see it stick around and not get lost in the flood of single board computers that are out there because there sure are plenty of them.

Mate, I'm not sure which UHS-1 cards you're using but I bought some 32GB el-cheapos from a supermarket rated 633x that read/write at 80MB/sec, specifically for the purpose of booting my XU4. You can buy microSD cards rated at 270MB/sec nowadays. XU4s eMMC is a proprietary, two year old interface and all of the flash memory is that age, too. To emphasize: Odroid is the only technology you'll ever see use that type of cartridge, and you're being sold two year old flash at an expensive price because it needs to be expensive to produce and test that interface. They'll tell you they can't sell you a blank one (without the OS) for cheaper because they need to test that it works. I suppose the testing could justify some of the extra cost, but it doesn't make sense to even use the interface nowadays. Not when you can buy a microSD card which has the same read speed and FASTER writer speed for the same price...

the stock heatsink is a bit minimal, and on some heavy loads the SOC still throttles back some unless a larger fan and heatsink is used.

The Pi is designed to be a very low cost, low power and silent computer - it doesn't even need a heat sink let alone a fan. The XU4 costs twice as much; aimed at a different market. The Pi is king because of price, outstanding software/OS support, and especially the massive number of HAT add-on boards. Can't see this changing any time soon, although I agree they should consider releasing a more powerful Pi as an additional SKU to compete with the likes of XU4... There isn't really anything that can compete with the Pi zero range yet, I mean that thing was given away FREE with a magazine!
