Description
ODROID N2 Plus (N2+) with 4GByte RAM
The ODROID-N2+ is the revision on the ODROID-N2. The latest version has the following major upgrades:
ODROID N2+ |
ODROID-N2 |
Up to 2.4GHz Quad-Core Cortex-A73 |
Up to 1.8GHz Quad-Core Cortex-A73 |
Up to 2.0GHz Dual-Core Cortex-A53 |
Up to 1.9GHz Dual-Core Cortex-A53 |
Comes with the Backup Battery Holder which is mounted on the N2+ Board |
The N2 Board did not have the on-board backup battery |
The height of the heatsink is lower, i.e. 1.875cm or 18.75mm |
The height of the heatsink is comparatively taller, i.e. 2.4cm or 24mm |
The ODROID-N2 and N2+ microcontrollers are the upgrades of N1 and come with the Quad-Core Cortex-A73 cluster along with the Dual-Core Cortex-A53. The processing unit is powered by big-Little architecture. ODROID-N2+ comes with the Mali-G52 Graphics Processing Unit which is the same GPU you find on the ODROID-N2. The metal-housing heatsink efficiently dissipates heat and protects the CPU from thermal-throttling. The Cortex-A73 reaches 2.4GHz with the help of the 12nm silicon technology. The CPU of ODROID-N2+ is 20% faster as compared to the speed of the CPU of ODROID-N1. Similarly, the GPU of N2 is also 10% faster as compared to that of N1. The 4GB RAM @1320MHz requires just 1.2volts. For optimized thermal-characteristics, the CPU of ODROID-N2+ is on the bottom of the board.

Description
ODROID-N1 came with Mali-T860MP4 which is good but Mali-G52 @800MHz on ODROID-N2+ is 10% faster than T860MP4. G-52 is the Bifrost-based Graphics Processing Unit. It is also known as MP6 because of its 6 execution engines (3x for each core). You could boot ODROID-N2+ via the SPI memory (on-board) rather than looking for the eMMC or MicroSD. Make sure to activate the eMMC hardware block because only then the SPI memory will be accessible on ODROI-N2+ at boot.
