Samsung has announced on its website that it has halted the production of its Artik 10 single board computer in favor of the newer Artik 7. The company’s Raspberry Pi 3 competitor started shipping in May last year for $149, but interested tinkerers can still buy it from the remaining stock through Arrow and Digi-key.
The Artik 10 board has been scrapped in a move towards smaller and newer boards like the Artik 7. The Artik 10 offered a whole lot of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and it had better graphics than the Raspberry Pi 3. It even had more storage and RAM than the Pi 3. Its only downside was its 32-bit octa-core CPU, while the Pi 3 had a 64-bit CPU.
The newer Artik 7 is physically smaller than the Artik 10, and it has all the connectivity features of the latter. It also has 1080p graphics, 1GB RAM, and 4GB flash storage. It can run Linux and Tizen and works with various types of sensors and cameras. Apart from Artik Cloud, Samsung’s IoT-based mobile cloud platform, Artik boards also work with Amazon Echo.
The South Korean electronics giant currently sells some connected home appliances, but its grand plan is to make all its appliances IoT-ready in the future. Samsung hopes that tinkerers would use the Artik 7 to make drones, home monitoring cameras, robots, smart lighting, and more that work with the company’s IoT and connected appliances.
