It is larger than the Raspberry Pi 4B, coming up at 85.6 mm long and 90 mm wide.
The Raspberry Pi 4B measures 85.6 mm 56.5 mm, for comparison.
This x86 board is still compact and portable enough for embedded projects.

Also, the rate of power consumption is relatively low for the performance it offers.
It has the same coprocessor as the LattePanda 3 and the Arduino ATMEGA32U4.
The UDOO Bolt V8 is a pricey board at over $500, plus taxes and shipping.

you’re able to also get the slightly underpowered UDOO Bolt V3 for about $100 less.
Regardless, all models are designed to consume as little power as possible while offering maximum performance.
This includes higher processing performance and compatibility with more operating systems.
It will also serve you better if you would rather not cross-compile your favorite apps or dont know how.
