Who would buy a Raspberry Pi for $120?
That is indeed a puzzling question, brought about by Raspberry Pi's introduction of the newest Raspberry Pi 5 model, with 16 GB of RAM. I spent a couple weeks testing the new Pi model, and found it does have its virtues.
...very much unlike Apple's memory and storage pricing for the M4 Mac mini, which follows an equation that ranges from "excellent deal" to "exorbitant overcharge". Before I get to the reasons why some people might consider spending $120 on a Pi 5, I ran a bunch of benchmarks, and one of the more pertinent results is HPL: For many benchmarks, the biggest difference may be caused by the 16 GB model having the newer, trimmer D0 stepping of the BCM2712.
