- happycube 12y agoIt's cheap enough that one could still get their money's worth out of this while waiting, though :)
- Rarebox 12y agoThis board only has 1GB RAM and no support for fast secondary storage (only USB2) so having 64bit address space would provide little benefit.
- 0x0 12y agoI'm sure there are other advantages to AArch64, like a larger set of registers, that could still make it worthwhile. At the very least it might push down the prices on the old armv7 CPUs.
- skrause 12y agoThe native AES encryption instruction set on AArch64 might also be really useful if you do any kind of encryption.
