The Arduino Tian SBC from Arduino, joins the Arduino Yun as an Internet of Things (IoT) enabler. The board features a SAMD21 microcontroller with a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 core. You will also find a Qualcomm Atheros AR9342 MIPS processor with a Linino operating system and a IEEE802.11n 2x2, 2.4 GHz dual-band WiFi module. The Tian is perfect for IoT applications such as robotics, home monitoring & security and wearable devices.

Tian compared to Yun
On-board microcontrollers. The Tian has more SRAM (932 KB) and flash memory (256 KB) with an ARM microcontroller compared to that of the AVR microcontroller on-board the Yun.

MIPS. The Atheros AR9342 on the Tian provides more processing power (560 MHz) to that of the Atheros AR9331 (400 MHz) featured on the Yun.

WiFi Module. The Tian supports the IEEE802.11n (largest bandwidth) with the Yun supporting IEEE802.11b/g/n.

Extra features. The Tian features Bluetooth 4.0 (EDR/BLE) and has 4 GB of eMMC flash memory.
