While the original ZimaBoard shipped with Intel Apollo Lake processors that were already more than four years old at the time that the board launched, the ZimaBoard 2 is powered by a current-gen Intel Twin Lake processor that should bring a significant boost in CPU and graphics performance. The company says users can expect a 200 percent performance boost, even though the new model runs cooler and quieter and uses less power while idle.

I thought a lot about buying the first version of this. Glad I waited. Very cool. Homelabbers: have some gear lust to start your weekend. Happy Friday!

    Hey just a quick heads up. We (my company) deployed around 40 Zima boards to a client for digital display usage and we keep running into boot device errors. It’s been a headache. Head my warning, don’t use these for anything important.

      Very appreciative of the heads up! This is the first time I’ve seen feedback from someone who’s worked with them.
