Is the Atomic Pi really Raspberry Pi sized?
No. Atomic Pi measures 130 × 100 × 50 mm, far larger than a Raspberry Pi’s 85 × 56 mm footprint [Elektroda, pseven, post #17649704]
ATOMIC Pi - an alternative to the Raspberry Pi with Atom x5 for PLN 127
TL;DR
- ATOMIC Pi is a Kickstarter-funded single-board computer from Team IoT built around Intel's Atom x5-Z8350 and aimed as a low-cost Raspberry Pi alternative.
- It runs Kubuntu and combines 2GB RAM, 16GB soldered eMMC, SD expansion up to 256GB, Wi‑Fi 5, Bluetooth 4, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, and GPIO.
- The board costs $34, or about PLN 127, which the article says is three times cheaper than Aaeon's UP with a similar configuration.
- A full bundle with a base plate costs $49, but the manufacturer ships only within the United States, so Polish buyers need an intermediary.
Generated by the language model.
The heart of the computer is the Atom x5-Z8350 chip from Intel containing a quad-core x86-64 processor clocked at 1.92GHz and an HD graphics processor.
The computer is running Kubuntu. The computer has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of eMMC (flash) memory soldered. The role of mass memory can also be played by an SD memory card with a capacity of up to 256GB.
The computer enables wireless connectivity in Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4 standards.
The computer has: a Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) port, 2 USB ports (1 USB 3.0 port and 1 USB 2.0 port) and an expansion connector containing the GPIO interface pins.
In addition, the computer has soldered: 9-axis accelerometer with a compass.
The dimensions are: 130 x 100 x 50 mm. The weight has not been provided. Supply voltage - 5V. Typical power consumption is 4 to 15 W. Cooling is passive. Operating temperature range, relative humidity range, vibration and shock resistance have not been determined.
More information on the ATOMIC Pi can be found at project website .
The cost of the computer is $ 34 (about PLN 127), which makes it three times cheaper than Aaeon's UP with a similar configuration. A set with a base plate containing, among others universal contact area for prototyping costs 49 dollars (about 185 zlotys). The shipping cost in the United States is US $ 11 (about PLN 41). Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not ship the computer outside the United States and you will have to use an intermediary if you want to order it to Poland.
Are any of you interested in ordering this computer?

Hello Super design, seriously considering the order :) You have to order it to your friends in the USA and wait for them to go to Poland. greetings [Read more]
Interesting as with support, as well as with "Orange Pi", thank you. [Read more]
Hello Linux (KUBUNTU) on the Atom shouldn't cause any major problems with handling, it's more of a classic. Once built into the monitor, it can be an interesting alternative to browsing the Internet,... [Read more]
I just think that due to the fact that this is Intel, this support should be "automatic". I do not mean that you can bet Windows on it, but e.g. hardware video decoding should work. What do you think about... [Read more]
Pretty cool Pretty powerful processor But this heat sink is probably a bit of an exaggeration ... this processor consumes 2 / 4W and the heat sink as if it were from 10 - 20 W :) [Read more]
It's funded by Kickstarter so it's a one-time job. But in order for the computer to work, it must have constant support - someone has to test whether the new kernel will work without any problems... [Read more]
It is true ... For me, all these kickstarters are a way of getting helmets from losers in general. [Read more]
Pulling the money yes, but sometimes something serious comes out of a kickstarter project. [Read more]
A little terminal without the housing of a well-known company. I only have this association? [Read more]
And how are we to know if you only have such an association? I think you should know best :D . [Read more]
I have a question, is it worth buying such a set? Ev. How many max to bid? Allegro offer no. 8769636290 [Read more]
