    Raspberry has a new model coming out at a Cheaper price with more features:

    Just bought a B+ model,
    so I've added a few more letters to 'BOINC on a RaspBerry Pi (or other ARM-based hardware) - under construction -'

    It is complete now! Scroll up (or down, depending on whether you see the newest postings at the top or at the bottom of the thread)
    to see the complete table. Now for a monitor to connect to my Raspberry and when it's up and running I'll go test the Banana Pi and Banana Pro as well,
    connecting them all to the same USB-hub, Network and KVM switches...

    New models of the Pi keep coming!

    After the Model B+, which brought us refinements such as four USB2.0 ports, micro SD Card and micro USB power connector,
    came Model A+, which brought us all the functionality -and more- of the original Model A, but then at a lower power usage and a smaller format.

    Now there is the Raspberry Pi 2, here together with the Model B+


    What's the difference?

    • It is faster (900MHz instead of 700 MHz),
    • It has twice the RAM (1GB instead of 512MB of the Model B+),
    • It has four times the cores (Broadcom BCM2836 ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core processor instead of a Broadcom BCM2835 ARM11 single-core processor),
    • It is up to six times faster in applications.


    MicroSoft has even promised a Windows 10 version that can be used on this Raspberry

    I can hardly wait for the AMD ARM SOC on a likewise board, as it is 64-bit....

    Lots of new things on the horizon. Is the ARM product anything similar to what we used to call RISC back in the early nineties? I see a revolution coming in tiny computers linked together to make larger formatted systems work better, instead of having big computers to do the same manual work. Or I hope I got that intent out correctly so you can understand.

    Thanks for posting Dirk

    You want an army of Pi's to earn you a living?

    BTW: the new Raspberry, having a ARMv7 CPU, ought to be capable of running far more apps than the ARMv6 equipped original.
