Okay I couldn't help myself, waiting for a build to finish.

Whoa, thanks. 368, huh? That's pretty impressive given the 1.9Ghz clock speed... By coincidence, the 'twitter.json' file was the one I was using as my slender data point.

Do note that at this stage the benchmark is so preliminary as to be largely meaningless - I haven't really done much more than eyeball the results. But as a preliminary data point, that seems to be a stronger showing clock-for-clock than the eMag one.

let me know if you want this data in github. Just testing our overclocking bring cpu clock up to 2.4Ghz and DDR to 3200

Also building with gcc 8.2 not I needed to change -march=native to -march=armv8-a+crypto

Sure I will keep an eye on your updates and keep testing.

I would also like to point out that the LX2160 is also a TDP of 32Watts compared to the 125W TDP of the eMag.
