So does the NEO 2 have the same problems?

Ok, gotcha. Are these low power settings enabled by default?

Ok, well I doubt memory will be the bottleneck. You have SD card and CPU blowing up in flames way before the RAM becomes an issue specially with 512MB. I think these small computers are surprisingly well balanced to become part of distributed HTTP server solutions! With that I mean that 100Mb/s, H3, SD card and 512MB RAM are all about the same place if you write minimalist software. We'll see how it turns out. btw, thx for second release and jessie!

You can see the comparison table and download source here: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/wiki/Comet-Stream

After one night of benchmarking I must disagree. To broadcast 100.000.000 messages over HTTP without a single miss at 650 messages/joule/$ (which is the highest to date) is not bad for something this small/silent/light. Longevity and SD bus remains to be tested though...

Ok, after testing the board for a long time and getting the temperature with: cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp It seems NEO is actually cooler than the ONE! ~60C vs ~70C I'm going to leave it benchmarking for the night. As for how long this thing can run I guess only time will tell...

Yep, that's the one. So that can't be fixed from software, guess this board is showing up to be a dud. I'm almost thinking of going back to RPi 2! At least the britts know their power circuits!

Ok, so tested with my own benchmark: https://github.com/tinspin/rupy/wiki/Comet-Stream And it runs a little hotter than the Orange Pi ONE, how much I don't know, what is the command to measure the temperature on this thing? But one component in particular is suuuuper hot: it't the tiny five legged black rectangle that reads A401 right next to the memory. It's >100C at least... burns like hell. And more worryingly so it burns no matter the load... so I'll turn it off now...

Ok, I have 3x Orange Pi ONE's running Armbian since they came out... zero problems. I also bought 3x NanoPi NEO's, will try to boot one with the Xenial image to test later tonight. Thanks for the heads up and awesome work!

What are the differences between Debian and Ubuntu servers from armbian? When is the Debian server release coming for the NanoPi NEO?
