With this upgrade bundle, MNT Pocket Reform has more power, more storage, and more bandwidth.
MNT RCORE with RK3588 is the most powerful octa-core Processor Module option for MNT Pocket Reform and the right choice if you desire the maximum in CPU and GPU performance as well as 16 or 32GB of RAM. The CPU features 8 cores: 4x fast Cortex-A76 and 4x efficient Cortex-A55. The integrated ARM Mali G610 MP4 GPU delivers OpenGL/ES 3.1 with the open source Panthor driver, with Vulkan in development.
RK3588 doesn't include any Wi-Fi out of the box. We recommend selecting the optional AsiaRF M27612-BU3 Wi-Fi module for 802.11ac connectivity (Mediatek MT7612U chipset with good Linux support).
A311D is a solid, affordable choice for your MNT Pocket Reform — both in terms of CPU and GPU. This energy-efficient module offers a good tradeoff between price and performance. The CPU features 6 cores: 4x fast 2.2GHz Cortex-A73 and 2x efficient 1.8GHz Cortex-A53. The integrated ARM Mali G52 MP4 GPU delivers OpenGL/ES 3.1 with the open source Panfrost driver.
With our Wi-Fi bundle, you get much higher bandwidth (around 200 mbit/s versus 20-30 mbit/s with stock Wi-Fi). Improved reception versus stock antenna.
