    This video is great to show that not all SBCs are built the same. These two obviously have different markets in mind and that's cool.

    Thanks for contacting the source (17:50) about the future of the Nano. I'm very interested, and I hope you'll keep us up-to-date on all the nuances of these little boards. Soon, say next generation or so, I think many things that used to be on bigger motherboards will be able to be handled by little devices like this. Even now, they're almost there for most stuff for almost anyone.

    I tried the Jetson Nano and the RBP 4B + with tensorflow and the RBP 4B +. RBP 4+ processed 2.4FPS using a type of SSD Mobilnet lite training while the Jetson Nano delivered 22FPS on the same neural networks.
    The Jetson can run DeepStream with Coffe2 networks at 45FPS and the RBP 4+ only at 1.8FPS for the same model.
    RaspBerry PI is excellent for everyone, except analytical videos and DeepLearning or Autonomous Robot.

      @@adymode The quad-core A72 was a little bit of a surprise considering the price, as you say. At the same time, it's not totally unexpected as the RK3399 has been out there for a couple of years. It looks like the A72 cores on a 28nm process is the compromise between price and performance. We've seen such examples as the RK3399, and the old mid-range Snapdragon 650 and 652, and now this. And the A72 being a few generations old already probably helps with the price as it's not top end of the line anymore.

      @twmbarlwmstar 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      What that shows, like you say very clearly, is just what the USB2 bottleneck was doing for performance. Anyone struggling needs to read up on USB specification. The pi3+ has one US2 lane- FOR EVERYTHING! This made it a pretty crap NAS, which the Pi4 solves. But that bottleneck really harmed the Pi3+ because no amount of HATs/add-in boards were going to get around it. One odd NAS I made would slowly fill its SSD, then off-load that data via USB3 HAT much more quickly to a more fully featured NAS. The best use case I found for that design was around a Pi0 CCTV system, with the Pi3 acting as the server.

    These cards are for two entirely different applications (I love them both). The PI w/4 GB is a great all-around Linux system that's pretty hard to beat for $100 USD. And while the Nano has it's own Ubuntu build, it's primarily for crunching CUDA in parallel, and developing Machine Learning applications. So if you're looking for a great Tensor Flow dev system the Nano is the way to go. Love this channel by the way!

      Indeed. In some ways it is a shame that the Pi 4 was released before this software fix, as a board that should be able to play 1080p TH-cam not being able to play it is not doing the Pi 4 any favours.

    What an excellent comparison of these two SBCs. Seems like it always comes down to the software support when you're trying to get the best performance out of one of these things. I agree with you that if nVidia gets the drivers working so most (if not all) of the apps on their Linux distro will use the GPU, that will be a gigantic game-changer. That GPU should blow away every other SBC on the market, if it's supported in software correctly.

    Well mate. This has been what I have been sort of thinking of. The GPU performance on the Pi's are well, not where it should be if it's used as a desktop or portable for that matter. What I have thought of now is using the Jetson for the CP (Control Processor), video, keyboard and mouse. While I would have 8 RPI 4's working as worker boards in the overall system. The issue is I don't care about backward compatibility for 32 bit code. Really, don't see the point. I can say running the hdparm test on Rasbian and also on Centos for the same model of Pi. Centos won with 27.87 MB/sec vs 25.93 MB/sec on Raspbian. Not a big deal but faster. So, I have been mucking around with buildroot to come up with a Centos like OS where it's running in 64-bit mode. Once up then it's just a matter of keeping up with the patches as I would have to compile and install them. I have done this before when I worked as an network engineer. Just check for patches to code say every quarter or so. But what I have thought is to build a cluster aware system where I would use something wine to run say Kerbal Space Program and see if it could handle the load. One of the problems you mentioned is overheating. I see this on my laptop now running KSP.

      True, but it's a very long way from learning Scratch and basic GPIO to implementing hardware video support. The former is literally child's play, while the latter is something I will never be smart enough to do, no matter how much of my life I burn up trying.
      The Raspberry Pi can start a poor kid on a journey of obtaining technological skill, even if it drops frames for a little while. Turning down the resolution won't hurt a TH-cam video's educational value.

      I want to have a media center PC running Linux. I want it to work out of the box. I am a Linux newbie.
      I have a 4K display, but nothing to drive it with. (The best I have right now is an Intel based Win 10 laptop that can display HD). I want to watch Netflix, TH-cam, etc. in 4K / 30 FPS.
      This video and a few other videos have been perfect for me, because I am zeroing in on the Raspberry Pi 4B & Jetson Nano.
      I will show my ignorance now. (Putting on flame suit).
      So the lack of FFMpeg integration is the cause of the dropped frames Chris was having in this review? When that gets fixed, will either one of these SBCs be able to do smooth 4K video streaming?
      Also, both SBCs reviewed here claim to have the ability to display 4K video.
      I guess 1920 X 1080 is the "basic" streaming standard today. The resolution that most people see when watching TH-cam, for example. And if a SBC can't handle that, then it certainly can not handle playback in 4K, right? Is that perhaps why Chris did not show any 4K streaming playback tests in this review?
      Refering to this video:
      NVIDIA Jetson Nano Review - Tegra X1 Single Board Computer
      Apr 9, 2019
      ETA PRIME
      th-cam.com/video/2JkQwu_LF3k/w-d-xo.html
      At 6:21, the author starting talking about using the Jetson Nano as a Desktop computer. He covered streaming video playback.
      Even though the Jetson Nano is rated as being able to display 4K at 30 FPS & 60 FPS, in the above video the author says:
      6:50 - 07:09
      "...but with 1080p the Jetson Nano has been amazing at least with this first release.
      As for 4k video playback online from TH-cam, it is a bit choppy, but that could be fixed down the road. This hardware has more than enough power to do it.
      So for everyday web browsing, 1080p video watching, this little device has been really awesome."
      07:24 - 08:10
      "...but for now this has been an awesome little board.
      As for native video playback, 720, 1080, and 4k 30fps have
      worked really well here.
      I see a little bit of stutter in this video. I test it on a lot of single board computers. This is the 30 FPS 4k version of Big Buck Bunny. But you got to keep in mind that it's still really early for the Jetson nano. Performance will improve over time.
      I also tried out the 60fps 4k version of the same video, and it's really not even where it's worth showing at all. It's very very choppy."
      So what exactly is holding back both of these SBCs? And in particular, the Jetson Nano? Is it the lack of FFMpeg integration? And that is just a software fix, right? It will not need a firmware update or re-write at all, will it?

      CPU wise -
      A *pi 3* is roughly a single core of a pentium 4, but you have four cores, so maybe like a multi socket xeon. (I'd give a molar to have one of these while I was in college instead of some sun ultra 10 hardware)
      *Pi zero* is roughly a pentium II or III. But the ram and storage are much faster than the spinning disks of the time.
      *Pi 4*, I don't know .... one does NOT see a 3x increase in CPU performance generation to generation in PC world. Maybe it's in par with Intel core 2 or Nehalem
      That said, anything interesting on the Pi or other SBC is not going to be happening while running a desktop windowing environment, much less running a web browser. Raspian/noobs is for people who are COMPLETELY new to Linux and need something familiar.

In some ways a Pi4 will be more advanced and in others still woefully lacking. Another problem is the fastest computer is the computer you currently own. And NOOBS is for new purchasers so they can install known to work software- someone coming from Windows won't notice any handholding because there isn't really any. In fact I'd say NOOBS adds confusion there.
      I've read the datas and the X3 thing is just a splash headline, sometimes it is over 3.6! Other times no improvement. If you sort of average it out, mash it about, and apply a sort of lightweight PC use case scenario X3 isn't correct but it isn't misleading either.

I was surprised to see a RPI 1B+ could stream good on OSMC, although it was fun watching it chug and buffer streaming on Rasbian. That was with 1100 over clock.
      I regard X86 as a fleet of American triple trailer trucks, and Arm as a bunch of delivery drivers on mopeds that can only carry small items.

It would be especially nice to see how this is done. Seeing some real world comparisons of bootup time and responsiveness within the graphical desktop would be great too! If you got it, it'd be great to see the speed difference via using a NVME drive inserted into a USB 3.0 adapter .... but I'd also be happy to see the difference with simply using an Sata SSD with a USB adapter cable (which is the manner in which I would most likely configure this. ☺

I used a USB connected Kingston SSD to do just this. Boot times were reduced, but more importantly, responsiveness when editing web content within WordPress was greatly better.
