It is worth noting the 30% improvement in processor speeds that are available using up 4000’s Intel(r) Pentium(r) N4200or Celeron(r) N3350and Atom(tm) E3950 Processor SoC (formerly Apollo Lake). In addition there’s an improvement of twofold in 3D graphic performance thanks to Intel Gen 9 HD. Intel Gen 9 HD processor graphics software. These improvements give users 1.7 times the single-thread performance when compared against the preceding generation as well as 1.5 times the graphics burst speed.
Although it is true that the UP 4000 represents a great technological advancement in the maker board industry it will also adhere to the original UP Board’s philosophy of closing the gap between the two by offering outstanding value in terms of price. Despite its cost it is a great value.
