An "innovative microcomputer" was invented at Skolkovo - it turned out to be a copy of a Chinese board from AliExpress

Skolkovo residents NPO RadugaSoft and NPO Intellect have introduced a small-sized single-board computer called Repka Pi. The development turned out to be an exact copy of the Chinese board Nano Pi K1 Plus, which in turn is an analogue of the Raspberry Pi 3 developed in the UK.

There are also a large number of errors in the board's reference: "Enternet port", "Cuad-Core"("Quad-Core") or "Flesh" instead of "Flash".

The Nano Pi K1 Plus, like its UK counterpart, runs on an ARM 64 processor with four cores of Cortex A53 architecture. But it has more RAM and processor cache. According to the manufacturer, the Nano Pi K1 Plus is 15-20% more powerful than its Raspberry Pi 3 counterpart.
