According to the introduction, the BPI-M6 CPU consists of four 64-bit Cortex-A73 cores at 2.1 GHz and one Cortex M3 core, similar to Apple’s M9 coprocessor, which is more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 4 CPU.

IT House has learned that the board is equipped with the Imagination GE9920 GPU and 6.75 TOPS NPU. The CPU, GPU, and NPU are bundled in a package called the VideoSmart VS680, which also comes with 4GB of LPDDR4 memory and 16GB of eMMC flash memory (up to 64GB), a Micro SD slot, and an M.2 slot on the back of the board that supports Key E devices.

In addition, the board is equipped with two micro-HDMI ports, as well as four USB 3.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, 40 GPIO pins, and a USB-C power supply port.

Banana Pi has not yet announced the pricing and availability of the BPI-M6, so IT home partners who need it can wait for a wave.
