Samsung will start shipping its eight-core Artik 10 board computer next month, a challenger to the Raspberry Pi 3.

The Artik 10 was first announced last year and could be a PC replacement if you don’t mind building out your own system. It could also spawn the development of smart appliances, drones, robots and other gadgets. Like the Raspberry Pi, its components are crammed onto a small circuit board.

The Artik 10 will be available from online retailer Digi-Key starting in May, Samsung officials said.

Pricing wasn’t immediately available, but the Artik 10 could end up being more expensive than the US$35 Raspberry Pi 3, and even the $99.99 Artik 5, a smaller Samsung board for wearables and small gadgets that started shipping in February.
