That's a bit odd. I used a raspi (1GiB aarch64 sbc with WiFi and SD card) as a desktop in college and while it was unpleasant to have Firefox and LibreOffice open at the same time I don't think I ran into anything that flat out didn't load.
- geocrasher 5y agoThat's because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VideoCore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VideoCore The rpi has hardware video acceleration even just a little bit, and the Celeron 1.4ghz laptop I had did not have any hardware acceleration of any kind. That was the difference really between my Phenom II X4 and the Ryzen 5 1400. Aside from obvious architecture differences, if my Phenom II had the video codecs built in, it'd have been plenty fast. There's more to CPU's than clock speed and basic architecture. Features matter.
- swiley 5y agoI wasn't running any hardware accelerated stuff except for video games. That would (I guess unintuitively) take up more memory.
- geocrasher 5y agoOH I don't mean GPU accelerated, I mean that there are video codecs built into the CPU so they don't have to be done in software. That was the killer for my Phenom II.
