Radxa Dragon Q5E is a tiny single-board PC with a Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 processor

The Radxa Dragon Q5E is an upcoming single-board computer (SBC) that packs dual 2.5 GbE LAN ports, HDMI output, a 40-pin GPIO header, and USB Type-C and Type-A ports onto a really tiny package.

And like other members of the Radxa Dragon lineup, this new SBC is powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing processor. In this case it’s a Qualcomm Dragonwing Q-6690 chip that has a few interesting features.

The chip features eight Qualcomm Kryo CPU cores with support for frequencies up to 2.9 GHz, a 1.15 GHz Qualcomm Adreno GPU, and a Qualcomm Hexagon NPU for up to 6 TOPS of AI-accelerated AI performance.

But the chip also features support for WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6, as well as integrated UHF RFID reader functionality.

Radxa hasn’t announced pricing or availability for the board, but this week the company introduced the board along with several other Qualcomm-powered devices. And this is the smallest of the bunch.

Radxa says the Dragon Q5E will be available with up to 16GB of LPDDR5-6400 memory (which is interesting, because Qualcomm says the chip supports up to 3GB of LPDDR5-3200 RAM). It’s also said to feature optional support for Power Over Ethernet and have MIPI-CSI and MIPI-DSI connectors, which are presumably on the bottom of the board, where we can’t see them. And as CNX Software points out, the graphic also indicates there’s PCIe Gen 3 su pport, but that may not actually be user-accessible, as it’s likely used by the Ethernet ports.

While we don’t have a complete spec sheet yet, it looks like the new board is roughly the same size and shape hand has a similar port layout to the Radxa Cubie A5E, which measures 65 x 56mm (2.56″ x 2.2″).
