The LeMaker Bass resembles the 96boards.org HiKey eight core ARM board, but instead of an HiSilicon Kirin 6220 eight core ARM SOC, it uses a more modest Actions Semiconductor S900 quad core 64 bit processor.

Mind you, a four core 64 bit ARM based SOC is nothing to sneeze at!

It should also lead to a lower price than the HiKey board.

There is very little information available at this time about the Actions Semiconductor S900 – basically just their press release linked above – however as it is an A53 architecture chip, some more information could be gleaned from arm.com, and an article at cnx-software about the Bubblegum-64 development board from Actions Semiconductor.

I plan on updating this article as I receive more information – this will be another board I am looking forward to evaluating.
