LattePanda Team and Global Partners Jointly Launch LattePanda 3 Delta - the Fast and Pocket-sized Single-board Computer

[TheLostSwede]

The LattePanda Team launched the world's thinnest pocket-sized hackable computer - LattePanda 3 Delta with global electronic components distributors. The collaboration will ensure that the product choice for LattePanda 3 Delta is passed on to customers through quick, easy online selection via the website of global electronic components distributors and LattePanda.

"LattePanda Team is so proud to cooperate with the global electronic components distributors for this joint launch. It delivers an exciting message to our customers that they can gain fast, easy access to our high-performance and hackable LattePanda 3 Delta anywhere in the world. Our collaboration will assure even higher levels of customer service," said Sandy Zhang, CMO of LattePanda Team.




LattePanda 3 Delta is poised to define a new era of computing and drive mega creativity for tech enthusiasts and industry innovations. It gets a significant performance boost by upgrading from the Celeron N4100 of the LattePanda Delta to the Intel 11th-generation Celeron N5105 processor with up to 2.9 GHz burst frequency, maintaining almost the same pinout and layout as the previous version to allow for effortless system migration or upgrading by replacement. Compared to its previous version, the CPU of LattePanda 3 Delta speeds up to 2x faster while the GPU speeds up to 3x faster to support usage like playing a 4K HDR video and running heavy games.

Faster Transfer than Ever
LattePanda 3 Delta uses Wi-Fi 6 whose transfer speed is up to 2.4 Gb/s, 2.7 times faster than Wi-Fi 5. It is also equipped with a USB 3.2 gen2 x1 port that has an ultra-high bandwidth, delivering up to 10 Gb/s of throughput which is twice faster than USB3.2 gen1 x1 (previously known as USB3.0). Besides, LattePanda 3 Delta has a Gigabit Ethernet port onboard, which can connect to the Internet at extremely high speed.
Faster Memory & Larger Storage for Abundant Creativity
LattePanda 3 Delta uses 2933 MHz high-frequency LPDDR4 RAM—up to 8 GB, 2x larger than that of the previous generation—for superfast, smooth performance. The storage - up to 64 GB - has been doubled for installing more software and data without any external storage.
Windows & Linux Compatible
LattePanda 3 Delta is compatible with both Windows 10 and Linux OS. It is worth mentioning that Windows 11 can also run on LattePanda 3 Delta.
Watch Dog& Auto Power On makes unattended operation with ease.
New Cooling Fan ensures better cooling and sustains the best performance.
Up to 42 Expandable Interfaces guarantee true hackability and rich playability.
Customized 12.5-inch 4K IPS Touch Display has an ultra-high resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels and HDR feature as well as provides two USB Type C and one mini HDMI port.

Key Features And Specifications:

• CPU: Intel Celeron N5105 @2.0~2.9 GHz, 4 Core and 4M Cache

IMHO, the most annoying thing about all of these tiny PC's is the connectivity.!

"if", ALL of the connections were on one side, the footprint would reduce considerably... Having cables coming out of three (or two) sides makes the footprint massive if used in a desktop environment.!

I can only hope the the "next" tiny PC like this has "ALL necessary" connections on one side, right now the Pi etc are a joke because of this, they have traded the tiny size of the board for a sprawling mess of cables out of at least two sides, effectively doubling the size of this otherwise tiny PC.! As much as I love my Pi 3, 4, etc, this is easily my biggest criticism.

How well will this work compared to a Pi to make a storage server?

There are gazillion of SBCs in the world, yet only few offer SATA interfaces and only one that i know of offers 4 SATA ports, the other ones only 1 port also couple of dead projects trying to make SBC with 2+ SATAs, and a total of 0 SBCs that can run windows as OS.

If you want a self managed NAS, you have to resort to ITX builds, which also means that power consumption is high (15+ watts). None of the SBC makers seem to care about this tiny-NAS market segment.
0 SATA ports is terrbile
1 SATA port is not enough (well, enough for backuping server, but not for NAS)
2 SATA ports are OK
4 SATA ports are the best.

There are olimex boards with 1 SATA port which also has a SATA power header on board. These boards are great, however they are using A7 cores, which are very inefficient and slow.
Then there is NanoPi M4B which has a much better CPU and has add-on board with 4 SATA ports(+power), but its not compatible with windows.

Much better I would say, thanks to the Intel CPU and proper storage interfaces.
Neither is hardly what I'd call ideal though.

Tried to get someone interested in making a decent barebones NAS, but it never went the whole way, largely because it was impossible to get a good SoC from Realtek or Mediatek, since they deemed his company unimportant and the potential volumes too small...

We made this together in the end, although in hindsight, we messed up a couple of things. Obviously the kickstarter was a huge fail, but that's a different matter.

why not just buy a Tremont NUC with better connctivity?

PI is (relatively) awful as storage server. All has to go through USB. RPI 4 does not have cryptographics extensions which makes encrypted sharing of data slow. These x86 boards have PCI-e, SATA and AES-NI.

They'll need to design a case that has an internal hub and brings all that connectivity to one side...

Interessting thing but in the end not for 269€

A MSI Cubi or NUC with Tremont Quadcore cost about 190€
