I think with the dev kit you&#x27;re mostly paying for the motherboard-type thing and all the software.<p>The module itself doesn&#x27;t seem that expensive, given that you&#x27;re getting a top-notch ARM SoC. Personally I&#x27;d be interested in a group buy when it gets released (early next year, for $299 in 1k quantities).<p>The only Cortex-A72 chip that I know of is the MediaTek MT8173, and the GPU on that is nowhere close to a Tegra X1. So it&#x27;s not like this is a previous-generation chip, despite being close to a year old.
