"Qualcomm just acquired Arduino and launched the new UNO Q powered by the Qualcomm QRB2210 Arduino has basically transformed from a simple controller board into a Linux-based edge-AI computer. The CPU is now hundreds of times faster with GPU and ISP added and it even includes a Qualcomm NPU for on-device AI. Through the new App Lab you can easily load built-in lightweight AI models like object or voice recognition and run them right on the board. It also jumps from a tiny XX KB SRAM to X GB LPDDR4 RAM runs Debian Linux and even supports Docker. So instead of the old XX MHz Cortex-M4 to read"

"Hype around DGX Spark died like this With its limited memory bandwidth the results werent surprising. Even with a higher bandwidth the form factor wouldn't really allow for higher power draw or better cooling anyway It feels like a niche product and frankly Im skeptical whether NVIDIA can even supply enough GB10 chips. Yet somehow ASUS Dell HP and Acer all joined in on production makes you wonder if that was NVIDIAs pressure at play. Does NVIDIA actually plan to manufacture these in volume Im not so sure. But this is still interesting teaser for NVIDIAs first real consumer ARM SoC the N1x If"
