Particle has launched Tachyon, its first Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered single-board computer (SBC) designed to make cutting-edge chipsets and AI tooling widely accessible to consumers and businesses.
The 5G device is available for pre-order via a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for $149, and it is compatible with Raspberry Pi’s ecosystem.
Zach Supalla, CEO of Particle, said in an interview with GamesBeat that Tachyon brings the power of a modern smartphone to the far corners of the world with speedy hardware, a powerful AI accelerator, built-in high-bandwidth 5G and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, and a Linux-powered Ubuntu operating system. By providing a complete edge-to-cloud infrastructure, Particle enables customers to focus on what matters most: their application.
