UDOO unveiled a new mini PC that is one of the most versatile maker boards ever and 10 times more powerful than a Raspberry Pi 3. This means you are able to drive up to three 4K screens at the same time. It is powered by an Intel Quad Core 64-bit new-generation x86 processors designed for the PC domain with an amount of energy consumption of only 5 or 6 Watt. But the most distinctive feature of UDOO is its Arduino 101-compatible platform which makes UDOO the most versatile mini PC ever, including an accelerometer, gyroscope and Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity. Don't worry about lack of drivers, the UDOO X86 is a next generation PC.

On UDOO X86 you can run any x86-compatible OS: Linux, Windows or Android. It can connect over Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi or Bluetooth. One of the most important aspects is flexibility in terms of storage: UDOO X86 mounts 8 GB eMMC on board, a Micro SD card reader as well as SATA, M.2 Key B and USB 3.0 ports to attach your hard disk. So what can you use it for in real life? For starters, you can run all the software available for the PC world, from gaming to video streaming, from graphical editors to professional development platforms, including Microsoft Office, plus all the software for the Arduino 101 platforms. Watch Netflix, Amazon Instant Videos or any other streaming platform in 4K in the quiet calm of a fanless Home Theater Personal Computer. Add add a USB DVB-T2 tuner to turn whatever attached monitor into a Digital Terrestrial Television

Need even more power? Build a cluster of UDOO X86 with the CLUSTER KIT and you can build your own supercomputer. With UDOO you can set a multi-node application in a simple and efficient way. By exploiting the wireless interaction with UDOO BRICKS you can also get the ideal Internet-of-Things control unit. The UDOO X86 + Starter Kit is currently available on Kickstarter for pledges of $114 or more.
