5 alternatives to Raspberry PI 2&3

1:00 AM Unknown 0 Comments


 The Raspberry Pi 2 and Pi 3 have taken the world by storm and created a huge interest in single-board computers; their simplicity, portability, and affordability make them great for tinkerers and kids alike. But not everyone wants a Pi. If you’re looking for something a little different, you can find it in one of the great Raspberry Pi alternatives.Here is my list of the most powerful alternatives board .


1. PineA64 { 15$ }

WORLD’S FIRST $15 Gaming Machine !




PINE64 is an open source platform from both hardware to software. It’s a versatile single board computer capable of running today’s most advanced 64 bit version of Android and Linux. Our goal is to bring the most affordable 64-Bit computing solution to the world. Use the PINE64 to build your next computer, tablet, gaming device, media player, and just almost anything you can think of.

2. Banana Pi { 49$ }

 1GHz A20 dual-core processor and 1 GB RAM under its hood, Banana Pi is a $49 high-end SBC that’s much faster than the Raspberry Pi. However, its Mali GPU is significantly inferior to the VideoCore GPU of the Raspberry Pi 2.

3. Intel Galileo Gen2 { 45$ }


Intel joins the race with its $45 Galileo Gen2, which offers Adruino support and its ability to boot without the need of external memory. The board runs on 32-bit Quark SoC X1000 processor with a clock speed up to 400 MHz.

4. BeagleBone Black { 30$ }


 Boot Linux in under 10 seconds and get started on development in less than 5 minutes with just a single USB cable,” promises the BeagleBone website. It’s tough to beat that. It can run Debian, Ubuntu, and Android out of the box, and there are a lot of developers out there who will have other ideas about what it should do.

5. UDOO x86 { 90$ }


 UDOO X86 is the New PC: the most powerful x86 maker board ever and an Arduino™ 101-compatible platform, all embedded on the same board. 

  On UDOO X86 you can run all the software available for the PC world, from gaming to video streaming, from graphical editors to professional development platforms, plus all the software or the Arduino™ 101 world, including all the sketches, libraries and the official Arduino™ 101 IDE. You won’t ever worry about lack of drivers or stuff like that. 

 This is a true next-generation computer. It is based on Quad Core 64-bit new-generation x86 processors made by Intel®, designed for the PC domain. Prodigious processors concentrated in 14 nm, with an amount of energy consumption of 5 or 6 Watt.
