Differences:
BIGTREETECH CB2 is an improved version of the BIGTREETECH CB1 single-board computer. Here are the main differences between these two models:
Processor:
- CB1: Rockchip RK3328 (quad-core Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.5 GHz)
- CB2: Rockchip RK3566 (quad-core Cortex-A55 clocked at 1.8 GHz)
The CB2 therefore has a more powerful processor with a higher clock speed and a newer architecture, which will result in better performance and smoother system operation.
Memory:
- CB1: 1 GB LPDDR3 RAM
- CB2: 2 GB LPDDR4 RAM
The CB2 offers double the RAM capacity and a faster RAM type, enabling more efficient multitasking and handling of larger files.
Storage:
- CB1: 8 GB eMMC
- CB2: 32 GB eMMC
The CB2 has four times the storage, providing more space for the operating system, applications, and user data.
Connectivity:
- CB1: Single-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and 100 Mbps Ethernet
- CB2: Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) and Gigabit Ethernet
The CB2 offers faster and more stable wireless connectivity, as well as faster wired connection, which is beneficial for video streaming, file downloads, and other network activities.
Other differences:
- The CB2 supports direct connection to 12V/24V power supply, which simplifies installation.
- The CB2 has compatible mounting holes with Raspberry Pi CM4, which facilitates integration into existing projects.
- The CB2 can run without a heatsink, which increases installation flexibility.
Summary:
CB2 is an improved version of CB1 with a more powerful processor, larger memory and storage, faster connectivity, and other enhancements. It is more suitable for demanding tasks such as 3D printing with Klipper, high-resolution video streaming, and other applications that require higher performance and fast connection.
Who is The CB2 suitable for?
CB2 is suitable for users looking for a powerful and versatile single-board computer for demanding tasks such as 3D printing, multimedia applications, game emulation, and other projects where higher performance and fast connection are needed.
