    News Raspberry Pi: Projects, Models, Prices, How to Get Started

    Please tell us what you use your Odroids for. Retro gaming, CoreELEC? You sound like a fan boy. FYI, I have 4 Odroids(N2Plus, N2(x2) and C4) and 3 Rpi4's.

    News Report: Nvidia's Getting Serious About Acquiring Arm

    For those happy for this allegedly new Nvidia adquisition, think again you will be very likely paying twice for an ARM IP license and that will reflect upon not only ARM customers but end users as well. There's only one thing Nvidia excels at, making money by overcharging for their products...

    Best microSD Cards for Raspberry Pi

    After checking multiple benchmarks about your Sandisk 128gb Extreme Pro USB 3.1 SSFD, you could've got 3x faster reading/writing speeds for the same money with a Kingston A400 240Gb SSD drive and a USB3 to SATA adapter(UASP and Trim support under raspbian) w/ ASM1153E chipset(Eluteng). Take a...

    Best microSD Cards for Raspberry Pi

    They are needed if you are using a real OS like ubuntu server/desktop/mate 20.04 LTS 64 bit. There's NO support yet for USB Boot on Rpi 4 other than raspbian 32/64 bit OS's.

    Best microSD Cards for Raspberry Pi

    Great article. I have several Rpi 4's 8gb and 4gb, Most of them use fast SSD drives as Evo 860 and Crucial MX500. However, since Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 64 bit does NOT support USB 3 boot yet, I have to rely on slow microsd cards. I only purchase the most expensive and allegedly faster ones like...

    News Nvidia Engineer's Vulkan Driver For Raspberry Pi Runs Quake III over 100 FPS at 720p

    Voodoo 2 release date was february 1998, I bought mines in april 1998. Pretty Soon, AGP was introduced and that allow to have single 2D/3D video cards like Voodoo 3 3000 which I bought during summer of 1999(only 14 months after). PCI slot for video cards was already dying back in 1999-2000...

    News Nvidia Engineer's Vulkan Driver For Raspberry Pi Runs Quake III over 100 FPS at 720p

    Back in 1998, my 3dfx voodoo video cards in SLI mode cost me $600 both, and still required a 2d video card to run($100). Yes, that's how much we paid to have nice accelerated graphics back in 1988-1999. BTW, that would be $1100 in today's money. Sadly, with the introduction of nvidia TNT($125)...

    News Nvidia Engineer's Vulkan Driver For Raspberry Pi Runs Quake III over 100 FPS at 720p

    Great news having a fully optimised low level OpenGL(vulkan) driver for an outdated hardware as Rpi 3. I'm buying online a Rpi 3B as we speak. I must test it out my fav game from id software, then rpi 3b will serve as a pi-hole server.

    News ODROID-H2+ An x86 Board to Challenge Raspberry Pi?

    The Odroid-H2 has been on my list for months because it’s an impressive x86 SBC for a low price. Unfortunately, it’s hard to justify $350(SBC board, case, AC adapter, BT module, wifi module, LED power button, plus taxes and shipping from hardkernel or ameridroid). I live in Canada and import...
