Let me get this straight, they think the Raspberry Pi - a primarily low-cost device aimed at teaching kids the fundamentals of computers/computing - is going to ship something more expensive (it will be) to better support AI? Upton has repeatedly made it clear that keeping the price low is key and anything that threatens that needs to add substantial value for Foundation's teaching goals. I think it's fair to say that OpenCL and neural networks are well beyond that. I'm curious, which part of their 3B+ prediction was accurate? It all seems totally wrong and looks like they forgot why the thing exists in the first place. The VC4 doesn't even have hardware support for H.265 decode (I assume they mean decode). You can do it in software with a much faster clocked ARM but that's not what they are saying and you won't get 4k. Why RPF would even care about 4k support I have no idea. I'm also not sure where they got the idea that power consumption is important either. 2GB of RAM is a fantasy considering the substantial cost brings little gain. Making these sort of predictions is so difficult but they really were way off.
