Lilbits: Two new single-board PCs, Phosh 0.48, MSI Claw A8 Ryzen Edition, and Synology’s overpriced SSDs

Radxa has a new Raspberry Pi-sized single-board computer on the way powered by an Allwinner A733 processor. Pricing hasn't been revealed yet, but the developers at the linux-sunxi wiki have posted some details.

Meanwhile Orange Pi also has a new single-board computer on the way. But since it's powered by a Loongson 2K3000 processor, it's pretty clearly designed specifically for the Chinese market, since LoongArch architecture isn't widely used elsewhere.

Here's a roundup of some recent tech news from around the web.

The Radxa Cubie A7A is an upcoming credit card-sized computer with an Allwinner A733 processor (2 x Cortex-A76, 6 x Cortex-A55, BCM-4-64 graphics, and a 3 TOPS NPU) and up to 16GB RAM. Pricing hasn't been announced yet. www.cnx-software.com/2025/07/02/r…
