Nice to see a successor to the H2/H2+ finally. > Power consumption: IDLE : ≃1.9W Better idle power than a Raspberry Pi 4 plus it has functioning suspend modes.

After all these years I still can't believe the Pi 4 has no low power mode and uses like 2 W when completely shut down. Like seriously how can you mess up so badly. 'Fewer components', yadda yadda, and on the other hand they manage to include a full headphone jack that's completely unusable due to induced noise... just sigh

I haven't seen a corrupted SD card on an SBC in, well since at least 2015. I guess it's possible under heavy read/write but I've not experienced it and I tinker with the stuff at least a couple times a year.

This looks like a great chance to ask: Besides the ODROID-Hn series, what other single-board computers have dual ethernet? Very few, AFAICT. For router use-case, the alternatives suggested (buy an older NUC, for instance) don't work.

Look around at STH forums. There are a bunch of jasperlake products with 4x or 6x 2.5 Gbe. This is one such seller: www.loksing.com.cn . You can also find them on aliexpress.

Yah, its cool, but as mentioned in the pi thread, there are a pile of these jasper lake nuc's available via large retailers for $100-200, some better some worse, but in most cases they come with ram, storage, case and powersupply for those prices. for example, search for beelink.

Search where? Because I can only find them for 350€+

The top of the pi thread has this one:

(16G ram, dual nic, 512G ssd) for $190 right now.

https://www.amazon.com/Processor-Beelink-Computer-Support-Di...

If you lower the ram/ssd you can find them for $120 or so, some also have the dual 2.5G adapters, and as the link up thread shows its possible for ~200 to even get them with 4+ 2.5G links.

Granted a lot of these are "deals" rather than MSRP, but right now the "deals" seem to be the normal state of affairs, although it was mentioned that they have been slightly cheaper in the past couple weeks.

As others have pointed out, the value prop of these boards is running thin. STH covers a bunch of similar products, and this is a tough sell at $165. You can find many similar jasper lake router boards with 4x 2.5 Gbe in a similar price range, but they'll come in a proper case with a power supply.

Can you provide some references (to production products)? I couldn't find any STH brand.

Generally not all of those. They do come with a case, active cooling, ~~far better graphics performance, and fewer software headaches due to being amd64 instead of aarch64 though~~ nevermind, forgot that this is jasper lake too.

Adding the H3+, power supply, fan and case to the cart reveals a total of ~180 USD, that's a pretty good price for what you get. I agree that the graphics might not be the best in class, but it's also not the worst. Overall I feel like it's a pretty neat price.

The iGPU on Jasper Lake CPUs is actually pretty good, particularly for the price. Much more potent than previous iterations of this class of CPU.

Really? My Pi managed to corrupt two 128gb cards in 2 years or so. It absolutely happens. I was running light web apps with less than 10 users, hence minimal writes, especially for cards this big

I guess those sales are US only, prices here in Germany are far higher.

Who cares just about plain HW specs? Nowadays I also expect the info on whether it supports UEFI booting, whether the firmware gets updates (and if fwupd or not), and if mainline Linux can boot and from what version. Too often these products have a limited lifetime (and are too hard to use) due to lack of the above.

I'm running the H3+ right now and I can tell you that I'm booting plain UEFI with a plain Arch Linux and no special stuff required at all. The firmware received 2 updates so far in 3 months.

Just look for the small router/switch looking pics with 4 or 6 ports on the front: https://www.servethehome.com/category/networking/

They review half a dozen of them or so. Most with the N4000, N5000, and N6000 under $200.
