How does this compare to a Raspberry Pi?

  Not sure of exact numbers but I'd guess several times faster in terms of computation speed. It runs Android which I think the RPi couldn't do successfully. USB 3 vs USB 2. Double the RAM.

    And four times the price.

      Three. If you want to compare this to the A model, then its four times the RAM and has wired networking as well.

  From what I can see, roughly as you would expect from the price difference ie, generally higher stats.

  Comparing the $99 version to the B ($35): - Double the clock speed (1.46GHz vs. 700MHz) - Double the RAM (1GB vs 512MB) - 8GB of on-board flash - Gigabit ethernet instead of 10/100 - A USB 3.0 port - A SATA II port - A PCIe 2.0 lane - JTAG - x86 architecture Overall, probably worth the extra cost if you need the power and features. The question is, who does? I'm considering this for no other reason than I want a board in this form factor and power class that has SATA and PCIe.

    Small correction: The MinnowBoard MAX only has 8MB of on-board flash, not 8GB. (It's an SPI chip to hold the firmware)

      Whoops, you are right. Reading comprehension fail on my part.

  The RPI is really obscenely slow, far slower than the clock rate would suggest even for an arm. The RPI is pretty exciting as a microcontroller, though it's power usage is very high, but as a computer it's a real disappointment. The real comparison should be with the odroid boards: http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G138733896281 http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G13... a quad arm (cortex-a9) at 1.7GHz with 2GB ram for ~$60.
