ODROID-N2 (4GB RAM)
ODROID-N2 is the revision of N1 and comes with the Quad-Core Cortex-A73 cluster along with the Dual-Core Cortex-A53. The processing unit is powered by big-Little architecture. ODROID-N2 comes with the Mali-G52 Graphics Processing Unit. The metal-housing heatsink efficiently dissipates heat and protects the CPU from thermal-throttling. The Cortex-A73 reaches 1.8GHz with the help of the 12nm silicon technology. The CPU of ODROID-N2 is 20% faster as compared to the speed of the CPU of ODROID-N1. Similarly, the GPU of N2 is also 10% faster as compared to that of N1. The 4Gbyte DDR4 @1320MHz consumes on 1.2volts. For optimized thermal-characteristics, the CPU of ODROID-N2 is on the bottom of the board.

Description
ODROID-N1 came with Mali-T860MP4 which is good but Mali-G52 @846MHz on ODROID-N2 is 10% faster than T860MP4. G-52 is the Bifrost-based Graphics Processing Unit. It is also known as MP6 because of its 6 execution engines (3x for each core). You could boot ODROID-N2 via the SPI memory (on-board) rather than looking for the eMMC or MicroSD. Make sure to activate the eMMC hardware block because only then the SPI memory will be accessible on ODROI-N2 at boot.
