With the need for active cooling, I am no longer convinced Rpi is that great anymore. I loved mine 3b+ but at this point a cheap x86 sff provides much more utility at similar cost and power levels.
The Ryzen 7840 stuff is great but even a 5800 would be fantastic. They have been getting quite cheap lately.
- pseudosavant 3y agoAn 8GB Pi 5 costs $80. For another $20 you can get a case and power adapter. What Ryzen SFF can you get with everything but a disk for $100? And how much more power would it use? If you know of such a product I’m very interested. It’d make a great base for a router.
- beebeepka 3y agoI remember a time when the Pi was just 15 euro. Now it's nowhere near that. There are plenty of x86 dual and quad cores around 100-150 "dollars". They are just as bad as the new Pi. Better spend a bit more and get a much better product.
