I guess with the rise of ARM, Microsoft will have to commit itself now to the new era!!
This is just meant to be informative, I doubt that this setup makes sense yet!!

Sfoy's My Frankenbot - Robosapien, Hearoid, Ottobot Head
IN progress... I am using a hearoid omni bot base. - The base will house: need some new treads if anyone has any ideas...
Kenny's Humanoid #2
Hey everybody, its been awhile since I built a bot, and Im back to humanoids again lol. This is a cheap 15 DOF robot kit...

Oj wow really?! Good to avoid, thanks again DJ ,that's 3 beers my drone will have to deliver to you...Purolator courier is ridiculous now in December, I am still waiting for my Roomba Enhanced brush compartment,tracking showing In Limbo status,LOL!xD
Aha ha ha! I forgive you ,still was a great video, I had no idea they upgraded the Ram on those cheap devices,not so cheap now.xD
We're comparing the Pi ARM to available SBCs. The Apple M1 comparison is out of scope in this discussion. Here's why...
Cold fusion is a great video channel - i really enjoy his stuff. That episode is quite fair, as it's important to pay attention to a few details he explains. For example, on mobile devices with video editing the hardware acceleration is a designed feature for the device. It's not part of the ARM architecture, nor is the ARM cpu responsible for the performance.
On the M1, it's less about the cpu because the entire motherboard has been revised with additional hardware acceleration. It's not as if they dropped their M1 cpu onto an existing motherboard/chipset and it suddenly was a powerhouse.
Lastly, Apple (and others) are able to build off the ARM architecture (albeit with hefty licensing fees). This is why Apple has always had their own ARM cpus. There are many many more instructions and additional support for their OS extending the M1's instructions from the native ARM architecture. Comparing the M1 to the Pi's ARM is not a viable comparison because they're very different beasts.
By no means am I saying the ARM doesn't have potential - because as a foundation, it has proven to be a great cpu given that you can afford the licensing costs to build on top of their underlying design. The Pi ARM cpus do not have any custom performance enhancing features and use the standard arm architecture - and that's what we're discussing.
The Pi's ARM is not comparable to similar priced intel based SBCs that are available today. Will/could that change in future revisions of the Pi? Yes.
However, the Pi 4 is not in the same league as the available similar priced SBCs based on intel's architecture
Completely agreed on in all points!! This was just meant to be some funny/informative thread...don't try to do this at home kids!!
:pI almost ordered onexD now I most certainly will not!
Haha - roborad! See what you did, mickey? I should be charging more for Synthiam ARC if people are ordering Pi 4's
Amazon had a sale a month or so ago on pi 4's 2gb. I bought a handful of them because i put them into my hacked game consoles. But, at full price i wouldn't dare buy one now that I can get rock pi/x's or atomic pi's for around the same price. Atomic pi's are $35 CAD on amazon! How can you beat that. They are a bit larger in form factor, but they work flawless
Oh yes and that is more the price that makes sense around 35.00. I can't argue with that when you have already done the leg work in testing them all! Hope you won't get angry letter from Raspberry Pi peeps, Ha Ha!
