Radxa Launches Rock Pi N10 RK3999Pro SBC with Integrated NPU
Radxa has officially launched the Rock Pi N10, a single-board computer based around the Rockchip RK3399Pro system-on-chip (SOC) and featuring a co-processor offering up to 3 TOPS of deep-learning performance for compatible workloads.
Radxa’s Rock Pi 4 is already a famous board and nest alternative of Raspberry Pi. In Rock Pi N10, N for Next. It made for specially AI, Multimedia and other Professional works. The ROCK Pi N10 has three models, one called ROCK Pi N10 Model A and the other two called ROCK Pi N10 Model B and Model C.
Overall specifications of the Rock Pi N10 aren’t a million miles away from those of the recently-launched Orange Pi 4 B: Both use the RK3999, both feature a neural networking co-processor with around 3 TOPS of compute, and both start with 4GB of RAM. The Rock Pi N10, however, doesn’t stop there, offering a choice of 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of LPDDR3 memory shared between the CPU with its twin 1.8GHz Arm Cortex-A72 and quad 1.4GHz Cortex-A53 cores, the Arm Mali T860MP4 GPU, and the NPU.

ROCKPiN10 supports Debian 9 Desktop, Ubuntu 18.04 server, Fedora Desktop, and Android 8.1, as well as AI development tools such as Rock-X set of rapid AI components, RKNN-API C API, and RKNN-Toolkit Python API of RKNN (Rockchip Neural Network). You’ll find all the information to get started and hardware documentation on the wiki.
Seeed Studio has begun taking pre-orders for the Rock Pi N10 family with aggressive pricing: The base 4GB/16GB model sits at $99, the 6GB/32GB version at $129, and the top-end 8GB/64GB version at $169.
