The Rock 5B is not a Raspberry Pi killer–yet
The market for Pi is dead.  The article pretends that you can buy a pi for list price $5 or whatever LOL but I just checked Amazon and real humans are paying $170 to $205 for a pi.<p>The article claim that you can&#x27;t compare a $150 &quot;mini PC&quot; to a cheap Pi is unrealistic.<p>I got a lot of flack (elsewhere not here) for setting up a mini-cluster for K8S that used mini PCs that I claimed are cheaper than Pi.  Note that I can actually buy a mini-PC for $150 whereas you can make up any imaginary MSRP you&#x27;d like for a Pi but you&#x27;re paying $170 today on Amazon regardless if the unobtainable price is $5 or $99.<p>There are plenty of low performance PC compatibles from Beelink and similar places that cost less delivered tomorrow than a Pi delivered tomorrow AND have higher performance specs than a legacy Pi.
