Hands-On With The Creator Ci20, Imagination's MIPS-Based Raspberry Pi Competitor

[Guest]

Imagination launched a MIPS-based Raspberry Pi competitor this month. Here's our hands-on review.
and we had the opportunity to run some benchmarks and test system performance running both Android KitKat and Debian Linux.

This thing is not a competitior to the RPi for several reasons....not to mention that Imagination graphics are a curse under Linux.

You want a good competitior to RPi ? ODROID-C1

Still, RPi have a long line of peripherals and a big community and that it's hard to beat, even by the ODROID -C1.

Hardkernel recently released a $35 board that blows the raspberry pi out of the water and I suspect may be a better piece of hardware than this. It's called the ODROID-C1 and it has a quad core ARM Cortex-A5 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz. I'd like to see the comparison between this new MIPS board and the ODROID-C1.

It also might be worth reminding people that Raspberry Pi creators have previously stated they plan on refreshing the Raspberry Pi with a new generation of hardware in 2015.
