Re: Not a surprise
The Pi has its place but it isn't a universal solution. It's too expensive, big or power hungry in some applications, it's underpowered in others. I get tired of all those comments here and elsewhere for any other SBC that amount to little more than "it's not a Pi" as if that is a bad thing.
Does a "universal solution" exist in any form? Nobody ever claimed a Pi was a universal solution.
The difference between Pi and other upstart SBCs that attempt to out-spec it, is the Pi creators stand behind it and offer real backing. Instead of just chucking it out to market with half baked OS and drivers and just hoping an extra feature will sell it. So many have tried and fizzled out.
40 million shipped and counting.
Only Jetson Nano has really offered any kind of competition.
Anyone who is thinking about running Pi CM4 in a mini-itx form might want to consider waiting for Turing Pi 2.
