Interesting "Competitors" for the Raspberry Pi

wallarug
wallarug over 13 years ago

It is interesting to see what people are comparing to the "An ARM GNU/Linux box for $25. Take a byte!" to these days.

 

http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/09/99-raspberry-pi-sized-supercomputer-touted-in-kickstarter-project/

This article is talking about a $99 dollar supercomputer that has 16 cores @ 700MHz each.

 

http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/28/09/2012/54676/raspberry-pi-gets-a-competitor.htm

This article is about an ARM board, not that different to the Raspberry Pi but with more power and RAM.

    BTW, in case you didn't see it somewhere else, a Raspbian port is almost running on the APC board ($49 including power supply,) not GPIO without hacking.

     

    There are other kernel/distro efforts ongoing.

    Yeah, the APC board is interesting but the stopper for me is only 720P and even bigger is that it doesn't have a GPIO header.

     

    @John, I'm getting fairly good rates at the CM that I use "down the street" from me. Not China level pricing but it's built in the US and I can have eyes on and control manufacturing. Brand new equipment and full 3D X-Ray so no worries for manufacturing for me.
