Heard of or using an Up Board?
-
Up Board is only available for original Kickstarter backers atm, but I'd definitely buy one if the come up for wider sale. They look like a great little system and way more powerful than the Pi. Other good options are currently LattePanda and Intel Compute Stick:
-
@suprjami Damn the Intel's Compute Stick looks so nice but the price doesn't. I think a lot people won't buy it it's way too expensive.
-
@PetroRie Really? There are 32Gb ones near me for $120. I would pay that. It's about the same cost as a Pi 3 and power supply and sdcard.
-
@suprjami More like double the cost. My Pi3, case, 16gb NOOBS card, 5A power supply, and HDMI cable came out to $60.

@Lyle_JP Welcome to Australia: http://www.altronics.com.au/p/z6302b-raspberry-pi-3-model-b-board/

@suprjami Wow, I guess the "Australia Tax" even made its way to Raspberry Pis
-
Wow. This could change some things for my future plans. An x86/x64 SoC the size of a Pi 2/3. Count me in.

Looking at the specs it looks like they made the footprint the exact same as a Pi. GPIO pins are slightly different, but most are the same. I wonder how hot they run…
-
@obsidianspider Shame that the power connector makes it incompatible with pi cases.
-
@Lyle_JP I'm sure the other ports would make it an issue as well, but the actual shape of the rectangle being the same will make it "swappable" with a lot of Pi projects that need more "oomph"

So could a manual install of RetroPie work with this?

There's RetroPie for x86
