it's just a different product.
a lot of people need the rpi to be something different than a media center that gets stuffed somewhere. 90% of the rpis I have at home are interfacing with something via pins, not just the usb hub. if I want to do something like that with the amd option then i'm back to some kind of usb device mated to that and another software layer that'll be undoubtedly more poorly supported than the rpi equivalent.
for something like a nas or media center though I absolutely agree with you.
- pests 3y agoRight, for me the RPi is the system to hook a breadboard up to or some other hardware if I don't want to drop down to a raw microprocessor or an audrino-like and don't need anything faster than what an OS provides. I think there is a divide in the RPI community between electonic enthusiasts and those who just need a small portable PC (media center, game cabinet, NAS/server/etc)
