One of the $99 PCs on this thread was 600 cubic inches, the NanoPi R6S is around 10 cubic inches.

Here's the link for the $119/$139 deal:

The ship today price from amazon was $180.

I was curious about system power (not just TDP), so I hooked up a kill-a-watt, at idle, ubuntu 22.04, normal stuff running (like sshd) and so far it's taken 7 hours to accumulate 0.01 kwh, sadly not very accurate yet, so I'll leave it go till at least 0.02 kwh, looks like an average idle around 1 watt.

I've been pondering some easy benchmarks from the command line, so far I've come up with:

1) openssl speed -bytes 16384 sha256 sha512 aes-256-cbc rsa2048

2) 7z b # benchmark mode for 7zip

3) wget https://github.com/jtsiomb/c-ray/releases/download/v2.0/c-ra...; tar xvf c-ray-2.0.tar.gz; cd c-ray-2.0; make; time ./c-ray-fast ./sphfract.scn -s 3840x2160 -r 4 -o output.pnm -p

4) any similar ideas that are easy, reports a useful number (or a few) in 5 minutes or less?

I'll run similar later on the rk3588, once I get a better idea of the idle watts.
