There's a new rasp b+. Discuss about it.
Thomas Clark
That's not a PC. If you want a SBC, just emulate desktop windows on your phone because real mini pcs are expensive af.
Jaxson Phillips
Nifty. I’ve yet to get myself a rpi yet. What’s new with the b+?

what's there to talk about
Jordan Brown
Eh. Honestly the main reason I got it is because it runs windows 10, and it’s cheap as fuck. Under $100. I basically just use it to download torrents for me 24/7 so I can use my main rig for doing other stuff without worrying about my pausing my torrents when gaming.
Luis Gray
how much, cpu specs?
Ethan Barnes
It’s a LattePanda. Just google it. If you see the price at $100+ then they’re ripping you off. Got mine for like $79 without a Win10 license, and bought a cheap Win10 key off eBay for like the price of a Big Mac.

Who would be this stupid?
Austin Collins
Oh shit I was expecting some ancient dual-core AMD trash. That's actually not that bad.
Noah Johnson
It's slightly less shit but still pure shit compared to other boards that go for the same price and have far better specs and same level of compatibility.
Christian Harris
Or just lazy/frustrated with shit-tier activators.
Aaron Sanders
it's literal dogshit you retards
Jace Sanchez
Why would you expect ancient dual-core AMD trash? AMD never made low power multi core CPUs until recently.
The x series of Atom CPUs is highly outdated now though, even shit like the GPD Win 2 rocks a m3 that's twice as fast as the fastest x series Atom. Specially this being a low end Atom to begin with.
Alexander Hernandez
Could be worse, efficient x86 qemu emulation on phones is limited to 2 cores I think.
Thomas Butler
Why would you even use an activator? Not to mention, sure they all works just fine, unless you're a brainlet.
Keys on the other hand are easy to aquire. If we are talking Windows 10, you won't run anything but LTSB in the first place, so activators are the most reasonable choice, unless you want to pay MS a few grand for the pile of shit called Windows.

>spending $100+ on a Pentium4 tier shitter pc instead of getting a thinkpad with a 2520m i5
top kek
Andrew Jones
Why would you use whole x86 system emulation on ARM in the first place? The only point would be to run x86 specific software, but that would be far faster and easier with optimized Qemu (i.e. Exagear) binary translation, either for running proprietary Linux x86 applications or Wine for Windows applications.
Joshua Walker
I don't need a ChinkPad with an i5 to run my SDR server, specially outside being so bulky and being so inefficient for its purpose.
Matthew Johnson
Nigger I can spend my money however the hell I want.
Aiden Collins
Chill, nobody is stopping you from being a retard. Have fun.
Isaac Nelson
VMs for next-gen multi-tasking and maximum portability
When Android phones reach 10GB RAM for example you could have like 4 x86 VMs open for multiple tasks with each being easy to control and switch to/from.
Austin Morris
But why? Might as well run a headless single board computer with its own battery backup and carry it in your pocket if you actually need 4 x86 VMs portabillity (i.e. they can't be on a network somewhere else and remoted into), let's face it, you don't need it in the first place though.
ARM will be choking back tears doing x86_64, highly inefficient compared to power/performance of even a shitty low power x86 chip.
Ian Harris
Caleb Jones
user you just said it yourself, things like exagear would make this better/easier and the latest snapdragon 835 is already trading blows with laptop i3s so ARM is catching up.
Sebastian Foster
Those are the old Pi graphs.
New Pi has USB2.0 Gigabit ethernet built in and better Wifi onboard.
It's still shit, but just slightly less shit considering it's the same price as the predecessor.
Anthony Wilson
Nope that graph is for the new pi3b+ with "gigabit" ethernet. Apparently the onboard USB 2.0 proxy is such dogshit that it can't even do the sustained ~300mbps it's supposed to deliver.
Jose Murphy
No it's not. That graph is the old graph comparing a USB gigabit adapter to internal 10/100 Ethernet.
The new Pi has internal gigabit Ethernet, your argument is invalid.
Zachary Clark
>VMs
surely you mean emulation instances, you aren't going to run a different architecture in a virtual machine, brainlet
Nathaniel Adams
>The new Pi has internal gigabit Ethernet, your argument is invalid.
It's still over USB lanes, it's not a part of the SoC with it's own I/O lanes.
Educate yourself Pi shill.
Julian Clark
he's right you know
Landon Bell
that's what qemu does my dude...
David James
nobody tell him
Nathan Lee
I know it's still over USB2.0 but that's still the old graph that's comparing an external adapter.
It wasn't representing the internal adapter properly, which the graph does. As you can see on it the difference between the Internal and External adapters is now basically nothing.
It should also be noted that the new Pi has wireless ac wifi, so the speeds should be higher than the old n wifi as well.
Basically presenting the old graph was a misrepresentation of the new Pi.
And I only buy Orange Pis.
Oliver Miller
The power usage is a lot lower in the LattePanda. If you already have an old ThinkPad, then yeah, maybe not worth it.
Cameron Rivera
Waiting for the revised asus tinker board S in april.
Carson Thompson
The internal is LITERALLY slower lmao.
I swear to god if that ac wifi is over usb 2.0 I'm going to lose my shit
Liam Butler
What would be a cheap machine to use as a thin client for desktop use? I'm looking for something to use with parsec that can still run normal desktop linux/win10.
Leo Collins
t60
Luis Sanchez
>I swear to god if that ac wifi is over usb 2.0 I'm going to lose my shit
Start losing it then, because on the rpi literally everything is over the same USB bus save for the SD card.
Andrew Morris
I'm not looking to buy ancient shit user.
Jace Lee
So essentially the rpi3 is the hellraiser puzzle?
Sebastian Foster
t420?
Logan Barnes
I'm not familiar with the specs on the hellraiser puzzle, but if it has all of it's io over a single USB bus then they would be similar, yes.
Leo Allen
>The internal is LITERALLY slower lmao.
It's within margin of error.
Or do you think that every transfer test should yield identical results? If you do then I will know you have never done any sort of transfer testing.
Michael Torres
I bet the fucking 5v power delivery is over usb 2.0 as well lmao.
Brayden Hall
Doesn't look like it.
But its wifi speeds don't look exceptional anyway, even for being twice as fast as the previous model or mini or whatever else has wifi.
Bentley Scott
>I bet the fucking 5v power delivery is over usb 2.0 as well lmao.
Josiah Cook
because Sup Forums can't actually use anything but windows.
I remember how the 400-post raspi thread from a few days ago was full of fags whining that it's too slow for x86 emulation and therefore useless
Tyler Cox
Jack Martinez
EOMA68 finally coming in June.
Freedom or bust.

Can it run Doom?
