A Kickstarter project that proposes a 'maker board' PC powered by an AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 processor has found great success in the fortnight since its launch. The Udoo Bolt is a 12cm square bare board that promises to be "almost twice as fast as the MacBook Pro 13-inch," while additionally delivering a powerful GPU, and Arduino compatibility, for US$229. Udoo's project started with a goal of about ?75,000 and has already surpassed ?305,000 with 46 days to go.
Described as "a quantum leap compared to current maker boards," the Udoo Bolt is said to be a capable AR/VR project computer. Udoo claims the board can "handle any current AAA game, delivering an impressive gaming experience at HD framerates," and they aren't talking about mobile games - the board can run either Windows 10 or Linux - your choice. You also have access to AMD's latest tech, providing fast NVMe SSD storage options, HDR visuals, Multi-monitor viewing, and FreeSync.
