Arduino Ventuno Q announced with powerful CPU and GPU, 40 TOPS of AI performance too

Last year, Qualcomm acquired Arduino, a company known for its tinker-friendly microcontroller kits and single board computers (SBC). The first product to follow was the Uno Q, which was powerful enough to run Linux. Now comes a much more capable device that is tailor-built for AI applications, robotics, security, education and research.

The Uno Q had a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU and an Adreno 702 GPU, which shared 4GB of RAM. Lightweight AI tasks could run on the CPU and GPU.

The new Arduino Ventuno Q is a very different beast. For one, it’s powered by the Dragonwing IQ-8275 (PDF)...
