Axiom+ vs. Axiom 2: What's the Upgrade?
While the Axiom range to date has brought us fantastic features like the HydroTough nano-coated screens and a powerful quad-core processor, the Axiom 2 supercharges this successful platform and future proofs it for the next wave of features and connectivity requirements.
| Feature | Raymarine Axiom+ | Raymarine Axiom 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Processing Power | Quad-core processor | New 6-core processor |
| Networking Speed | RayNet (10/100 Mbits/s) | Gigabit RayNet (up to 1000 Mbit/s) |
| Internal Storage | 16 GB Solid State | 64 GB onboard storage |
| Chart Rendering | Fast and fluid | Up to 30% faster rendering |
Why does this matter for the long haul? That massive bump in processing power and internal storage isn't just about making things run faster today; it's about future-proofing! As marine software continues to evolve, the Axiom 2 has the hardware headroom to support future generations of software upgrades for years to come. Eventually, the previous Axiom+ generation will hit a ceiling and stop receiving updates once it is limited by its hardware, but the Axiom 2 is built for the future.
Is the Axiom+ still available?
With the Axiom 2 hitting the market, you might be wondering what happens to the previous generation. Is the Axiom+ obsolete? No, In fact, Raymarine has brilliantly restructured their lineup. The entry-level "Element" series has been officially discontinued, and Axiom+ is moving down a price tier to take its place.
This is fantastic news for boaters! It means you can now get the premium features, powerful quad-core processor, and bright HydroTough™ screens of the Axiom+ at a much more accessible price point. It absolutely still holds a strong place in the market as an unbeatable entry-to-mid-tier option.
