I can't quite believe it, but tomorrow will mark 1 year since I launched @sbccompare 😱 So much has changed in that time that I thought I'd throw together a summary of it all! sbc.compare/blog/one-year-of…

Backfilling data on new tests goes brrr

Waking up to figure out why everyone was suddenly landing on the Q8B page.. 3 sets of test results from 3 OS versions available at sbc.compare/radxa-dragon-q8b!
The Radxa Dragon 8QB is more than 2x faster than the Pi 5, has tons more I/O, and only costs a little more... but good luck finding one :( Today's video goes into the details: piped.video/watch?v=KUUuxkIC…

Table? Boring! Graph? 📊 Beautiful sbc.compare/7zip Benchmark pages are now updated to show everything in a nice graph instead of tables!

The 1st @sbccompare Price Watch article is up over at sbc.compare/blog/price-watch… - bit of a quiet one, but it covers the #RaspberryPi 4/5 2GB increases, and a couple of others even dropped in price! 🤯

The @sinovoip Banana Pi official bpi-shop links are working properly now, so price history will be updated. Amazon tracking is now mostly there, but no history. Discontinued boards like sbc.compare/raspberry-pi-2-m… now show that, the RRP, and any current price found on Amazon. I want to include AliExpress but they want ID and a phone call for API access soo.. Let's see
I'm slowly building up the price tracking of all boards available on the site, and you can get an overview of these at sbc.compare/price-changes as time goes on. You can also see price history on every board page, such as sbc.compare/raspberry-pi-5#p…

Maybe one day Google will like the site as much as I do.. But hey, I'll keep pushing these QoL changes even if there were 2 daily users.. and if one of them was me.. :D

I snuck in a little new feature to the sidebar on sbc.compare/browse It's fairly basic, it matches SBC/SoC manufacturers, names, some aliases etc, but hopefully it will help a little! Drop a reply if you notice any funkiness..

I wanted to add extra GPU options to the benchmark suite, sooo I added @nihui's vkpeak to cover a range of options. Only the @RadxaComputer X4L on sbc.compare/vkpeak so far, but as with others, new boards will be tested with it, and others backfilled later! For full data, the table at the bottom of the comparison pages such as sbc.compare/radxa-x4l is where it will live.

Sunday update time! 📈 SBC pricing is now monitored daily, with auto updates of performance per $ values. Price history graphs and stock notices avail once there's a few more days data, along with a dedicated price changes page. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

These graphs would have been a lot more interesting if I did this from the start, please accept my apologies. It will be fun to see how they trend over time during, and (hopefully) after this RAM nonsense sorts itself out. Also, Amazon prices will never show in the history graphs as they forbid it if you're a member of their affiliate program, aaand AliExpress figures will be tracked once they let me into their API funhouse. So some prices may still be a bit wonky or wrong, but we're getting there..

Small UX change today (well, on the surface it's small) to make the URLs a little nicer to read and share. I've dropped the ID and RAM capacities, so if you're after the @Raspberry_Pi 5, that's now just sbc.compare/raspberry-pi-5 and the RAM variants are available from a drop-down.

I already owned the Pinecil and Pine Power devices, however @thepine64 SBCs eluded me, until now.. sbc.compare/130-pine64-pine-…

ICYMI: I launched a "Top Trumps" style game, SBC Showdown. Guess which board is better in which category, learn a little, and blast past my streak of 13 correct answers.. sbc.compare/showdown

So many boards, so little time.. I think there are still 10-15 in various states of testedness (let me have this one, it's early) for a multitude of reasons. Software support and documentation from vendors definitely isn't one of them. Definitely not.

Many of you asked for Luckfox on the site, and the Aura is 1st of 4 that will be available in the near future. sbc.compare/126-luckfox-aura… It's also the 1st with the RV1126B SoC. Rolls off the tongue, that..
