The ECS LIVA X3A is a fanless small computer with two Gigabit Ethernet ports, WiFi 6 support, four HDMI ports, and a Rockchip RK3588 processor.
While it’s obviously designed for virtual signage or other advertising applications, it also looks like a small, all-purpose computer.
At the center of the formula is Rockchip’s RK3588 processor with 4 ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores, 4 Cortex-A55 cores, Mali-G610 MC4 graphics, and an NPU with up to 6 TOPS of AI performance. While it’s not exactly the maximum even though there’s a rugged ARM processor on the market, it’s still a pretty decent option for a small, quiet PC like the LIVA X3A.
ECS equips the computer with Android 12 software, but I think it will also be able to handle a variety of GNU/Linux distributions, since it’s the same processor used in several single-board computers (and even some laptops).
The LIVA X3A ECS also features 8GB of LPDDR5 memory, 64GB of eMMC flash storage, a microSD card reader, and a set of ports including:
ECS says three of the HDMI ports have 4K video output, while the fourth reaches 1080p. All four ports are CEC-powered, allowing them to turn a demo on or off.
The computer measures 109 x 68 x 50mm (4.3″ x 2.7″ x 2″) and comes with a 45 watt power adapter. There’s also optional support for add-on boxes including one with a 4G LTE radio, and another that adds Power over Ethernet support.

Other than Apple’s M series, which ARM CPUs are more powerful than the RK3588?
Any Snapdragon 7c, but also for the general public
yes, that’s bad, I deserve to have clarified that I’m referring to a conventional one (like one where you can create your own hardware design, rather than just buying a phone or XR headset)
Amp perhaps?
