' first' open-source ARMv9 motherboard surfaces – Radxa Orion O6

But we would call it a Mini-ITX Arm SBC rather than a mobo.

The new Radxa Orion O6 might be more accurately described as an SBC (single-board computer), with its SoC and the RAM quota chosen at purchase soldered in place. It has a decent feature set that supports hardware ray tracing, various popular video CODECs, and APIs like Vulkan, OpenCL, and OpenGL.
