Inside, there&#8217;s a high-performance 2.2 GHz octa-core RK3576 chipset that features a Mali-G52 GPU and an NPU capable of 6 TOPS (trillion operations per second), allowing you to run local LLMs (large language models &#8212; one of which will be a Flipper One-specific LLM for using the tool). This chipset is fully supported by Linux, and there&#8217;s 8GB of built-in RAM to handle the operating system and apps. <\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"The Flipper One is powered by two processors.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"916.7356881851401\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/>  <\/p>\n<p>The Flipper One is powered by two processors.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">Flipper Devices<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All this power in a device that sits in the palm of your hand.  <\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s more.  <\/p>\n<p>Running alongside this main chip is a secondary dual-core Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller for handling the basic tasks of the Flipper One, including the display, button interface, touchpad control, LEDs, and power subsystem.
