8M is really weak. That would be pretty much a Pinebook with Vivante graphics.
The i.MX 8 QuadMax at least has two A72 cores, similar to Rockchip RK3399.
- hawski 8y agoOh, I didn't know. Nevertheless a Pinebook with Vivante graphics at up to $250 would be pretty nice. If there is a better SoC with as good mainline support, all the better.
- bpye 8y agoHave Purism explained their processor choice anywhere? It would have been nice to have used the i.MX 8 QuadMax - it would have given a little more hope for the phone lasting.
- seba_dos1 8y agoI'd guess that power consumption characteristics of those two i.MX8 variants are different enough to explain that choice.
