fitlet-A10 performance
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2015 1:07 pm
Your performance comparison chart http://www.fit-pc.com/web/wp-content/up ... ab-PCs.jpg doesn't list the A10 models. It would be nice, if they were added.
Also, the steep price step from fitlet-B to fitlet-i is too bad. Does AMD really charge that much more for the faster SoC models? Since the A10 models don't seem to use different boards from the A4 models and still cost $68 more, I assume that the altered board design and and extension card in fitlet-i, when compared to fitlet-B, cost about $49, if the price step from E1 to A4 is the same as from A4 to A10. I think, it would have been better to have all fitlets use the same boards and thus allow the same extension cards for either model. That way, a $178 model "fitlet-iE1" could have been realized, which would probably have found a lot of interested people, whose computational performance needs are low but who would have appreciated the extra connectivity, especially to eSATA. Maybe this could be considered for a future product.
