Radxa announced the Dragon Q8B, a single-board computer powered by a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 SoC (a laptop processor), delivering significant performance improvements over competitors like the Raspberry Pi 5 and ranking at the top of sbc.compare benchmarks. The board features 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB RAM options with robust I/O including dual 2.5GbE ports, USB 3.2 connectivity, and M.2 storage, though Linux software support remains a challenge due to the SoC's primary design for Windows on Arm laptops.
