Raspberry Pi competitor with AMD graphics launched

Definitely not going to compete on price...
Might be a better value proposition though depending on use case. It's probably a very low binned part from AMD, they really have a great bin segmentation to minimise wastage. I bet the next Nintendo Switch will have an AMD APU.
 
Would be nice to know what ballpark pricing would be. its difficult to understand how "competitive" it will be vs the Pi without that.

Perhaps I misunderstood but the article states that the CAPA13R does not have GPIO pins however glancing at the datasheet and manual, there are supposedly 8 Digital I/O pins on a 2mm pitch 2x5 header.

Any built in RAM? It seems you have to go and buy a separate RAM DIMM as well unless the right RAM comes with the board in the box.

Sure, but if this is a better value proposition, then the RPi was probably not a reasonable alternative.

Well, it seems like a pretty powerful CPU. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+Embedded+V1807B&id=3310
Based on that (it being a laptop CPU), I think the price is going to be eye-watering.
 
Well, 4 should be enough. Though I think if you needed 2, an RPi 4 with a USB ethernet will be significantly cheaper...
a USB ethernet will eventually cause extra overhead/io and or driver dependency vs native ports.
 
just because its a sbc doesnt meant its a pi competitor, if it prices the same as the other brand named sbc its way above the pi price point and not competing with it at all


finally... more than one ****ing lan port :rolleyes:

there are other sbc with more than one lan port, but it costs in an arm and a testicle... if they are anything to go by for the price of this, its not good.

Man I'd hate to be an Intel NUC right about now.

yeah.. the nuc... supposed to be revolutionising the desktop because of size and price, turned out the be the same price as a pc... the greed was too stronq. still i like a nuc, using some as media players and can run esxi on them, nifty.

If the NUC was selling at half the price it is it would see much more success.
 
the last time i looked around locally for those i couldnt find any.
There is the erm router like one

Not quite what I want.
