Hi forks,
I found an interesting development board has a ARM 1.4Ghz Quad-core processor with 6 USB 2.0 hosts and an Ethernet.
It seems to be the cheapest Quad-core board available today…

I would not consider Samsung as a development board. Same as for Raspberry. It’s only a toy to play with. Nothing serious… You can only develop software on this board and no further hardware development. Had their first Hardkernel toy in form of a small tablet. Absolutely useless and so slow! To my luck I could sell in a few days after purchasing 
Actually it seems amazing on the video !!!
Have anyone tried it ? How is performance ?

I have to agree. The specs and the video seem to say it's a good board I could use to incorporate as part of a Software Defined Radio but I would have to read a bit more especially on the GPU to see if existing software could use it for some of the number crunching.
The Pandaboard does a very good job with 2 CPU's so this looks as though it could adequately fit the bill.
Regards
Sid.
Maxim why do you say this or a raspPi isn’t a dev board? Is it because they aren’t open with the design specs, such that you couldn’t customize your own fabbed boards?
Hi,
Hi,
I have to agree. The specs and the video seem to say it's a good board I
could use to incorporate as part of a Software Defined Radio but I would
have to read a bit more especially on the GPU to see if existing
software could use it for some of the number crunching.The Pandaboard does a very good job with 2 CPU's so this looks as though
it could adequately fit the bill.I find the I/O limiting the Pandaboard. SD cards are to damn slow so I
use USB Harddrives, which give it quite a boost.
I use a Class 10 SD card with the Pandaboard together with a 60GB hard drive.
I followed a write-up on how to use rootfs from a USB HD but it didn't work out and I didn't look further.
Is there some ARM-Board with sata-ports, which you can put in a acutal case which some
sata drives? Maybe in the itx-factor?
There are these boards but they seem to be all single core.

This one is quad core but no price and no date when it'll be available.
Perhaps the ODROID-X ($129) with a large Class 10 SD card and a HD would be a good bet, quad core 1.4GHz and 1G memory.

ODROID-PC has a native SATA port.
Dual-core Cortex-A9 1.2Ghz with 1GB RAM.
It looks okay for you. But it is too expensive… $350!

Very expensive when you consider what the $129 Quad-core 1.4 GHz and 1GB memory ODROID-X has to offer.
