A query about your processor

[FrostKnight]

How would this compare to something like x86_64 like skylake or newer?

Application wise, speed wise, functionality wise

I am curious if this board requires any non-free firmware to use also and if it can be used for average stuff if say, you used box86/box64.

Curious to see your answer.

The coming one is a lot more stronger than the 1st generation.

Okay, but that still leaves a lot of questions unanswered

what exactly the questions? you meant comparing the X86 in terms of performance? main problem is on GPU support from AMD/Nvidia, the rest is getting better, like Ubuntu will be fully supported by default from 2025 onwards.

Yeah, like which generation or intel or amd processors would it be similar on performance and also, would debian be supported, openbsd?

And lastly, would you need any non-free firmware, or blobs to use anything and if so what? Wifi? GPU? etc...

Btw, is there a wifi card soldered onto it?

Those are questions I have.

It supports Debian and Fedora systems. The motherboard features an integrated GPU and a removable WiFi card. All functionalities, such as connecting to wireless networks and playing videos/music, work directly without additional configuration.

I read at one point this is just for early adopters and developers more than anything. However, I will be interested in seeing how box86 and box64 people try using it for their purposes.

box64 is running on RISCV but just crap in performance. lol
