Sinovoip, producer of Banana Pi boards, has a new flag ship in their M (for main?) line, perhaps unsurprisingly called the Banana Pi M6 (don't get distracted by the header showing a M4).
The surprise lies more in the chosen SOC: a Senary (Synaptics) VS680, a quad-core Cortex-A73 (@2.1GHz) with a Cortex-M3 real-time security core @ 250 MHz (-so useless for computing), an Imagination PowerVR Series9XE GE9920 GPU, and a NPU for AI up to 6.75 Tops.
The board further has 4GB LPDDR4, 16GB eMMC flash and offers a M.2 E-Key for PCIe or MIPI CSI. There are 4 USB 3.0 ports, 1 GbE ethernet and 1 Micro HDMI-in and 1 Micro HDMI-out. Power Source needs to be PD(?) 5V@3A, administered via USB 3.0 Type-C.
The board looks like this (click to enlarge):

The VS680/SN3680 seems to be a quite capable SOC -but these specs make me want a SBC with a Qualcomm QCS605 instead.
