Given the current situation in China, I think it would be prudent to be a bit more patient on updates. Nobody needs the extra stress.
[Rock Pi X] More details and photos, please (:

Apart from any further more pretentions like asked it would be great to get an update when you can!
We literally have a project on hold becuase of this boards because as far as I can see there are no other x86 boards of the same size out there.
Really can not wait
The UP board exists, Atom X5-Z8530 in a RasPi form factor.
Can you provide a link please?
Any updates on those updated images of the board? I believe last time they were mentioned was a couple months ago. I donāt mind waiting longer for the board but it would be nice to see the update layout of it so I can plan ahead for a future project. Iām hoping the CPU will be moved to the top like the RPi and the overall layout of the ports will be identical to other boards like the Rock Pi 4 and RPi so itāll be compatible with existing Raspberry Pi enclosures.
The redesign specifically moved it to the underside to address cooling concerns (this is the same reason the RK3399 is on the underside). Thereās plenty of cases for the Rock Pi 4, and if the X has a similar layout and heatsink, you can use this one (which I highly recommend): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3499190
Much excitement!
What is the port between the HDMI and USB-C?
Itās a mini DP port. But it turns out cherrytrail is not capable of handling dual display, so we will probably just cancel it.
Ah, I see the dual NICs didnāt make it 
Any update on the progress, availability? Besides if you are removing mini dp, maybe there would be a way to squeeze SATA port in there?
Personally Iād be more interested in seeing a PCI-E like the RockPi 4. It would give you more options, plus a faster connection.
RockPi 4 has M.2 PCI-E and its probably M key type. Itās not full sized PCI-E slot.
Soā¦I`m saving some money to buy this x86 board:). Could the radxa team release some tests, photos of the boardā¦or the release date :D?
Weāre like 3 months ago we saw a photo of the redesign and like half a year since it was supossed to be realeased.
Please, share some details about the Rock Pi X progress. Itās frustrating to be waiting for that long with no info.
The x86 development is very different from the arm world and we are actually not a big team but with a lot of various projects going on thatās why itās delayed. The good news is, the ROCK Pi X is very close to MP now. 100pcs is under progress and I think we can send the beta hardware to developers soon.

Rock Pi X is just like a dream for us as linux enthusiast, thatās why is hard to be patient, but is better to wait in order to have a superb product. Personally
Iām using an Asus tinker board as a main desktop for doing my work (I am a linux sysadmin), i will change immediately to Rock Pi X once available. Congratulations for your efforts and go ahead! 
Iām realy impatient about the Rock Pi X, i realy want to test it. Iām realy curious about one particular thing, itās about the GPIO. I hope it will be possible to use some RS232 with the X86 UART. I have some bad results with some Arm mini UART which canāt offer the exact same level of expertise.
I think that maybe a X86 architecture can be interesting for many other reasons, First, I have so many softwares that Iāve developped to test on it, for linux and for windows
