Radxa unveiled Rock Pi X intel SBC powered by an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor over a year ago with a starting price of just $39 making one of the cheapest Windows 10 single board computer together with Atomic Pi, but the latter is not super convenient to use.

Rock Pi X model B specifications:

• USB – 1x USB 3.0 port, 3x USB 2.0 host ports, 1x USB OTG Type-C port

• Expansion – 40-pin Raspberry Pi compatible header with 6x GPIOs, 2x UART, 2x SPI, 2x I2C, 1x PCM/I2S, 1x SPDIF, 2x PWM, 1x ADC, and power signals (5V, 3.3V and GND)

The specifications have changed since last year with the eMMC flash being soldered directly to the board instead of having a removable module found in Rock Pi X v1.3 or earlier, and the MIPI DSI/eDP display port and MIPI CSI camera interface have been removed from the specs. However, we can still see an LCD connector on the top right corner of the photo above.

If you intend to run Windows 10 on the board, you'll need to buy Rock Pi X with 32 GB or more storage capacity. Ubuntu 20.04 should work fine with just 16 GB, and other lightweight distributions will have no problem running on 8 GB storage. Want more technical details about the board and getting started guides?
