It looks like the BeagleBone AI gets its AI from the two Dual-core ARM Cortex-M4's plus the two C66x DSPs.
Problem is getting those extra CPUs getting recognised and to work. CPU info for the BeagleBone AI only shows the dual-core Cortex-A15:

ARM itself just released a new Cortex-M, the Cortex-M55, which they claim to be the most AI-capable Cortex-M processor and that delivers up to 5x DSP performance.
Its capabilities can be enhanced by coupling it to their Ethos-U55 NPU
-which can also be coupled to the Cortex-M33, M4 -like in the BeagleBone AI- and M7.
This might be useful for e.g. the Wildlife@Home sub-poject of Citizen Science Grid
-provided they have the energy to wake themselves up and write a new application.

Me? None, that's where the AI comes in. AI is tireless...
The whole idea is to get some more grunt out of these little boards, and when they're stacked with GPUs, NPU and other co-processors it should be possible to turn them into the next credit boom -at least compared to the old SBCs...

BeagleBone Black, Rev.C
CPU: A Texas Instruments ARMv7-A compatible processor ARM Cortex-A8, rev 2 (v7l) aka Ti Sitara AM3358BZCZ100
Features: swp, half, thumb, fastmult, VFP, edsp, thumbEE, NEON, VFPv3, tls
BeagleBone Black Boinc Benchmarks
| Operating system/version | floating point MIPS (Whetstone) | integer MIPS (Dhrystone) |
|---|
| Beagle Debian Wheezy | 184 | 2,047 |
| Android 4.4.4 Kitkat | 277 | 1,607 |
| Beagle Debian Jessie | 173 | 2,173 |
| Android 5.1 Lollipop | tbd* | tbd* |
| Beagle Debian Stretch | 226 | 11,779 |
| Beagle Debian Buster | 259 | 17,536 |
*No Native BOINC possible*
Perhaps worth mentioning that under Stretch and Buster swp has disappeared and has been replaced with vfpd32.
WEP2 -which is what I am running on the BBB- is still utterly unimpressed by the added integer MIPS and crunches on exactly as before.
The moral of this continuing story: keep your OS up-to-date....

There's a new Raspbian, Stretch (with a new kernel), so it is time to re-run the benchmarks (on a single-core Raspberry Pi B+ with its ancient ARM-11@700MHz):
New MIPS, please!
| Raspbian version | Linux kernel | BOINC version | Floating Point MIPS (Whetstone) | Integer MIPS (Dhrystone) |
|---|
| Squeeze | 3.1.9 | 6.10.58 | 24 | 799 |
| Wheezy | 3.2.27 | 7.0.27 | 222 | 926 |
| Jessie | 3.6.11 | 7.4.23 | 300 | 1212 |
| Stretch | 4.9.41 | 7.6.33 | 330 | 2500 |
Running it a tad faster @900MHz and adding some libraries I tweaked it to 376 Floating Point MIPS (Whetstone) and an astonishing 7477 Integer MIPS (Dhrystone).....
Going all out @1000MHz it is 431 Floating Point MIPS (Whetstone) and an amazing 9822 Integer MIPS (Dhrystone).....
I've even written
Roy Longbottom about it
Benchmarks, schmenchmarks?
While having some fleet exercises I put the old Raspberry Pi B+ under Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye @1000MHz, to be rewarded with 530 Floating Point MIPS (Whetstone) and 13342 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU..... (BOINC 7.16.16 and Kernel 5.10.92)

The 'new' dual-core Cortex-A15 BeagleBone AI is already Out-Of-Prodduction (OOP) and has been replaced with the dual-core Cortex-A72 BeagleBone AI-64. What makes this board tick, compared to other BeagleBones?
The mentioned price of $175 is -in the light of the present shortages on the Raspberry Pi front- reasonable, but some actual webshop prices leave much to be desired -first of all: lower prices!
Farnell seems to be the white raven,
Digi-Key is more expensive,
OKdo's offerings are even more expensive,
Mouser still won't even sell it to the Netherlands,
RS-Online does, but seems to think I have money to burn,
Botland.pl "Completely gets the skin over your nose" to paraphrase an old Dutch saying...
The BeagleBone AI-64 should be able to bring some 1500-1600 daily credits at WEP-M+2, against 500-550 for the earlier BeagleBone AI and a meagre 55-65 for the BeagleBone Black.

The procurement section of the experimental division of my ARM fleet managed to scavenge a BeagleBone AI from 'Marktplaats', a Dutch cross-over between eBay and Craigslist! A mere 50 Euro, plus an additional 10 Euro for a 5-port TP-Link GigaBit Switch...
The 32-bit taskforce goes out again on Universe@Home, which runs better on 32-bit as compared to 64-bit (WUs at least available for 32-bit BH-spin, not for the 64-bit application. Paying rather well, too.).
