- Udo 12y agoYeah, I should have made that clearer. It's not a Raspberry Pi. Obviously, if any of the differences is a showstopper for you, don't use it. Personally, I'm happy with my Raspis and I have no experience with the Bananas. But "absolutely different"? And then putting the name of the Banana in scare quotes? That's a purist's perspective. Judging from the comment I was replying to, it seemed that the poster was less interested in an absolute clone of the Pi, but was in fact looking for something Pi-like with more I/O power. That assumption may have been wrong or not, who knows. I just felt like putting it out there as an option, which judging by the moderation wasn't warranted. Sorry about that.
- Narishma 12y agoThe benchmarks on that website are bogus. For example, he uses the gtkperf benchmark to draw the conclusion that the Banana Pi has a better GPU that the Raspberry Pi, but gtkperf doesn't even run on the GPU on the Raspberry Pi, and I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't on the Banana Pi either.
