Far from being a competitor of the famous raspberry-pithe LattePanda is a motherboard built around an Intel processor.
A few years after the launch of the Raspberry Pi, a Chinese company had the idea of designing a computer single board a little more imposing, but also much more powerful, the LattePanda.
€240,000 Kickstarter campaign
Last November, the eponymous company announced the 3 Delta, a new version of its creation. The idea was then to swap the Celeron N4100 processor for a significantly more powerful model.
A change that also made it possible to take advantage of a more robust graphic solution and that LattePanda wanted to validate through a Kickstarter campaign. This was only supported by 883 contributors.
A success that may seem mixed, but which was enough for the happiness of the LattePanda company, which thus raised nearly 240,000 euros and undertook to deliver the 3 Delta in March 2022.
Intel Celeron N5105 and 8 GB of RAM
Behind schedule – like any Kickstarter campaign? – LattePanda finally started shipping only at the beginning of the summer and is therefore already preparing for the next step.
Indeed, the company publishes a press release to announce the online sale of its card for a price of around 270 euros, taxes not included. For this price, we take advantage of the 3 Delta, a card with a format of 125 x 78 x 16 mm, therefore a little larger than the Raspberry Pi.
It is designed around the Intel Celeron N5105, a Jasper Lake processor engraved in 10 nm, with 4 cores/4 threads operating at 2-2.9 GHz. It integrates an iGPU with 24 execution units at 800 MHz and the whole is marked for a TDP of 10 Watts.
The CPU is supported by 8 GB of LPDDR4 and 64 GB of eMMC while two M.2 ports allow you to add SSD or network controller. Sold alone or with a Windows 10 IoT Enterprise license, the 3 Delta can accept a Linux or Windows 11 distribution.
