ASUS Business Hub

We’ve spent considerable time recently discussing how AI and smart devices are transforming the world of work. The Internet of Things (learn more about that here) and data management allow our businesses to be more efficient and responsive to rapid changes in stock, consumer purchasing, and more. How? Through the implementation of smart technology like single-board computers (SBCs). SBCs such as the ASUS Tinkerboard range. ASUS has spent years offering these micro-computers that are perfect for education, learning to program, but most importantly – making business operations smarter. In recent weeks, we announced the ASUS Tinkerboard 2 and 2S, the next generation of Tinkerboard products, and the next step in embedded smart technology in business.  

The Asus Tinkerboard 2 And 2S: Up To 96% Faster Than the Previous Generation

The 2 and 2S improve upon the previous generation products, offering increased performance across both single and multi-core benchmarks, enhanced GPU performance, faster data transfer rates, and more. They represent some of the most potent and versatile SBCs on the market today. Here are some of the highlights:

• A 6-core Rockchip RK3399 SoC, with the new 64-bit Armv8 architecture. Single-core performance has been increased by 96%, while multi-core performance has improved by 64% over previous-generation products.
• A Multi-core Mali-T860 GPU, the highest performing model built on Arm’s Midgard architecture, offering 28% improved scores in Glmark2 compared to previous generation products.
• More than 10x faster connectivity than the previous generation, the 2 and 2S use next-level 902.11ac Wi-Fi dual-band antennas and the latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology.

  Along with the remarkable improvements to performance, businesses looking to implement SBCs into their business will find a suite of product features designed to cater to a range of use-cases. The 2 and 2S support dual-display output at up to 4K UHD resolution, with display interfacing for HDMI, DisplayPort over USB-C, and DSI. Three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C (USB-C) port offer rich connectivity for a range of devices, including USB-powered displays, cameras, and much more. The 2 and 2S also include:

• An RTC Battery Header, enabling real-time clock functions to schedule startup and shutdown, timers, and similar functions.
• An SD-card slot.
• A fan connector for advanced cooling needs.

The 2 and 2S are easy to set up, with a flexible tool included, enabling users to tweak performance settings and offering a short 3-step process to get started.
