I work at a middle school with a lot of inner city kids and wanted to get a bunch of raspberry pis or whatever so I can have the kids make their own retro game console. (Mainly for the kids who don't have any games) but looking at raspberry pis for example, they are ALL sold out. Unless I wanna pay $200 for a $35 Pi4 on Amazon and I'm not doing that for 20+ kids lol

Chris, any thoughts on the outrageous prices for SBC’s these days? ~$250 for a RPi??? Any thoughts on when the chip supply will come back and the prices come back down to something affordable?
@pimaker5876 Says:
very informative
@mattblatchley2061 Says:
do you have any opinion or information on the reported Raspberry Pi stock IPO that is reportedly upcoming?????
@watchedsvideo Says:
Have you reviewed the Zimaboard?
@SirTodd Says:
I absolutely love how we have been seeing such a huge rise in the popularity of computing with gpio coprocessing. In college, I had gotten overly aggravated about the huge disconnect from real-world computation and the trend towards entirely digital emulation. At one time, the power PC had most definitely lost its grass roots. Glad to see that some are truly beginning to migrate back to some of the more original use cases.

@chillbro2275 Says:
Do SBCs come with good development tools generally? Are there PowerPC SBCs?
@chillbro2275 Says:
wow very interesting. All of this cool stuff has been going on and I had no idea. I've heard the name Raspberry Pi, but didn't know anything about it, and assumed it was just a microcontroller. But thanks to this video i know it runs an ARM processor, which i only recently discovered makes architecture decisions that i really prefer. I may give it a try.

Hey! I want to ask what are the best alternatives for jetson nano?
@kurupsuresh8463 Says:
Hi, which SBC is useful for 4k video, 9.1 channel Dolby Atmos and auro 3d audio, please reply.
@nikolas8741 Says:
Open sorce only! No nvidia garbage please!
@sadmanpranto9026 Says:
we need a mini gaming community/industry based around cheap SBCs like Raspberry Pi (ARM) or Rock Pi X (x86). And I don't mean Emulation.
@nuclear-sparks Says:
I think x86 will become specialist use case hardware, apples m1 chips will see arm apps run so its clear this aint over but it was prematurely pushed
@andyweb7779 Says:
Does the Raspberry PI 4 have hardware for PWM or is it still software?
@fattomandeibu Says:
I like the SBCs for the variety of potential uses. It doesn't matter if you're like me and using it to play old games, or want a controller for some robotics, NAS, media player, audio card, along with seemingly 100s of other things, it can even be used for good old fashioned computing.
The Pi has all this, plus great software and support documentation/forums(including this very channel) for all these things. You can see why they've sold so many.
@deplorablesecuritydevices Says:
Great overview! Buiding an ammo can sbc holder and looking to support the most models possible. This was a perfect starting point.
@pcsocket462ecsviak7vza Says:
does it have physics processor? mpeg2 video encoder?
@ShrikantSonone Says:
Hello Chris, Can you compare a x86 sbc with Intel NUC?
@denastewart-gore800 Says:
I'm in a learning process right now but I do plan on getting a Raspberry Pi and a Framework laptop. I wanted to do this stuff when I was a kid and when I was in college but I didn't know if there was anything affordable back then. I lost 40 years of computer education and I am not happy. Getting ready to dive into this when I get the money to and I plan on making my own products and starting a business involving this.
@Mattan32 Says:
Dear Chris thank you for your Informative videos about SBC's I was wondering which SBC would you recommend as a home screen sharing hub to Mac and pc?
@PaulL-g5l Says:
Seriously impressed with your collection of SBCs. If you see a nefarious character loitering outside your house at night with a balaclava and a bag with 'SWAG' written on it, that will probably be me.. Please feel free to contact the constabulary and have me suitably removed to a custodial facility.
PS , only joking . I've no idea where your house is.
@jaimecosta2966 Says:
I won't to star a hobby in learning rusberry py programming.. May be you could recommend a book and a rusberry programming and what rusberry to by for beguiners... Wish you well
@johnc3403 Says:
I think most developers use SBC's for their GPIO functionality and as such, the performance provided by the recent SBC variants are more than adequate to get the job done, whatever that may be. For me, any Control, switching, measuring or sampling needs have been met. I don't need a faster SBC. I think this is the case with most SBC users. If we want to do Video editing, we'll power up the PC or Laptop, but for the typical tech user project, the SBC is as competent as we need. The market may not be there among us for ever faster and more competent SBC's.

6:23 "fairly soon, we'll see the launch of the first SBCs with RISC-V processors." wowwww, that's soooo exciting to hear. thanks for covering this.
@tylermcnally8232 Says:
Like everything that experiences American capitalism. Now there are 1000 different versions because every Toms Dick is Harry wants to cash in on the SBC craze. Which leads all variations to suck or be generic crap were 90% of all products end up in a landfill. Hurry merica.
@PinakiGupta82Appu Says:
Apple's new M1 series computers in the light of ARM SBC evolution reflects some aspects of the future direction of small form factor computers. The craze was so high when Apple announced the launch of M1. Their new M1 can overtake older Intel CPUs, however, the software support is still poor as reported by many users, especially, the third-party provided ones. Most vendors will eventually port their products over to ARM M1 sooner or later. Things change. Electronic components are getting smaller. I expect that Raspberry Pi will be comparable to regular low-end computers in terms of performance within five years. I was planning to buy a Zero W but the price went up due to the lockdown and global demand. It was 950 INR a year ago. Today, it's around 1700 INR. A lot of my hesitation was caused by their micro HDMI port. Micro HDMI to VGA converters are not readily available. The cost is also fairly high. Zero W satisfactorily plays YouTube videos at 360p resolution. Vim can start within a minute or two. Clang is available. Pico projects can be compiled. Plus, Puppy Linux Raspberry Pi Debian Buster is also there which should speed things up slightly. GIMP runs on Zero W, so medium res images can also be edited. Overall, not bad. SD card, cover, power supply and a few extra parts come at some extra cost unless I take into account that one-time investment. Well suited board for common tasks. Just we shouldn't expect it to be M1. Well explained video that depicts SBCs in their present states. Analysed very logically from the market's perspective. Commendable work!

is this an ad for RPi?
@WhenDoesTheVideoActuallyStart Says:
I'm really excited for RISC-V, I can't wait for them to develop a core that's as strong as a Cortex-A78, and for Linux to work well with it.
A possible way to boost RISC-V adoption is to make a couple standard SoC designs that are open-source, so that the software development that goes into the hardware of different ODM's is mostly compatible and propells eachother forward.

I use RaspberryPi a lot an I love it! I developed several monitoring devices for construction sites with MQTT, python, Node-RED, micro-services, Mosquitto, Grafana
@EmilePolka Says:
the only interesting SBC this year is that CM4 of raspberry pi. everything else is pretty much boring except if they have native PCIe connection on it.
@xymaryai8283 Says:
i never thought of the literal definition of SBC, which would include my APU gaming computer because I don't use a graphics card, and also would include older less expandable computers like the Commodore Vic20 and 64.
@peterbreis5407 Says:
Apple's M1 Mac mini and iMac M1 motherboards are similar sizes to the SBCs above, whilst being astoundingly powerful. The same chipset is built into iPhones and iPads.
You are ignoring that SBCs are being lapped by mainstream computers.
Apple appears to be a blind spot for PC users.
@slickwillie3376 Says:
I'm very interested in New Raspberry Pi SBCs and also the Beagle RISC V. Also, Minix seems to have run out of funding, so any application of Minix to RISC V would be of interest.
@KRAFTWERK2K6 Says:
The RasPi was my introduction to the world of SBCs that are open source and basically coming with everything you need. What i loved about it was that it reminded me a lot of the 8bit Homecomputers of the 80s, like ZX Spectrum or the C64. Computers that you could understand and that didn't hide their potential under endless layers of Software and interfaces. You could really tailor your software to the Hardware. And this is the biggest strengths compared to PCs which all have completely different components. I just wish we had a all-FPGA based SBC that could be turned into retro computers without the need to salvage original ICs. This is the kind of SBC i'd be looking for nowdays. :)

@RetroSwim Says:
I think the mindset changes as we get older. When I was a teenager I had all the time in the world to faff about recompiling 2.x Linux kernels to get that one weird feature/peripheral to work, and I suspect if I was a teenager today I'd have the patience to faff about getting video playback or 3D graphics working nicely on that cheap Allwinner/Rockchip Pi-alike. I'm in my late 30s now. I need these tools to help me achieve my project goals, not to have the tool become a project in itself. This in mind, I think this video is a fair assessment, fewer platforms with more focussed development will probably have better outcomes for everyone. RISC-V is a nice concept in a lot of ways, it'll be fascinating to see where that leads!
@PaulMonaco Says:
For me the fascination is with easy GPIO access, not necessarily the "computer" behind it... would love to see a "generic" maker-board with intuitive software to control IO that can simply be plugged into (USB?) a generic out-dated Windows box for the "brains"
