SoEdge v. SoPine - ian-s-mcb - 11-16-2020
I'm having some trouble understanding the wiki for the soon to be released SoEdge. How do the SoPine and the SoEdge compare in terms of performance and features? From the wiki, it seems like the SoEdge is less performant, which is odd because it's newer. Maybe I'm a bit daft, but I think the wiki can use some revising and I'd like to help.
I've read on the wiki that the SoPine has a Allwinner A64 SoC (Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 Processor@1152Mhz), where as the SoEdge has Rockchip RK1808 SoC (Dual Cortex-A35 up to 1.6GHz).
Here are the SoC spec pages:

Here is how I compared the CPUs:

Thanks for your time.

The SoEdge has a weaker general purpose CPU, but it has a special AI (deep learning) accelerator NPU. So if you are working with anything like Tensorflow it might be quite fast.

Thanks, poVoq. That was what I suspected.
