Benchmark Result:

Paul Stoffregen did a benchmark testing with Teensy 4.0 along with Teensy 3.6, Teensy 3.5, Teensy 3.2, ESP32, Metro M4 Grand Central, Arduino Due, Arduino Zero, and Arduino Mega. The benchmark is performed using CoreMark . The synthetic benchmark tests performance managing linked lists, doing matrix multiplies, and executing state machine code. The result clearly shows that Teensy 4.0 outperforms all the other candidates in the test.

As to mention the possible implications of this super-fast 600 MHz microcontroller dev board we can say. It can be used for polyphonic audio synthesis, it can also help with moderately complex machine learning algorithms, and real-time audio analysis. It can also accelerate graphics operations by offloading the CPU.

The board is available at an affordable price of only 19.95 USD here.
