Khadas launched the 'Edge2,' a compact single-board computer (SBC) based on an ARM processor. The main processor on the Edge2 is the Rockchip RK3588 SOC, which is a high-end Rockchip processor for mobile devices. This features eight cores with clock speeds of up to 2.4Ghz per core. Additionally, the onboard graphics card for the RK3588 is the Mali 610MP4 GPU running at 1 Ghz, which is enough to power basic web tasks and lightweight gaming.
The Edge2 comes stock with 16Gb of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of eMMC 5.1-grade storage. However, it is currently not clear if these are user upgradable in the future, given the difficulty of modifying SBCs. In terms of its interface options, the Edge2 features one USB 34.1 port, two USB-C ports with one for Power Delivery and one for Power delivery and Display Port 1.4, one HDMI input, and two DSI inputs, allowing users to connect up to four monitors.
