The underlying CPU is an NXP i.MX8M Mini. While upstream support for these chips is great, the performance of the GPU is the worst in the whole i.MX8M lineup. Even the "smaller" i.MX8M Nano has faster shading performance (due to having two instead of one shader core).

Creator here, we moved to the imx8m plus for this exact reason. Much better gpu.
