Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

While both are printed circuit boards (PCBs), a single board computer (SBC) has all the necessary components that a full computer requires (CPU, memory, I/O, storage, and GPU) contained all on the board. These components are soldered onto the PCB, locking the specifications in place. However, motherboards are built with sockets that are to be populated by the CPU, graphics, and memory. These components can be removed, changed, and upgraded.
