Newark/element 14 are selling them. I can't tell I get my hands on them but
I am hoping the pi foundation didn't screw another board. The pi 3 was
restricted to 32bit operation because the binary blobs were compiled for 32
bit armv7 with armv8 extensions enabled. I am curious if we will finally
see a pi with a kernel with native 64bit builds. Until then, I'm sticking
with odroid C2's as my goto boards for headless use.
