Libre Computer La Frite 1GB
Benchmarks, specifications, and real-world performance data
Expert Summary
At $15, you're choosing between raw power and super-compact convenience. The Libre Computer La Frite is basically a Pi 3 in a smaller package, offering a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of DDR4 RAM, which is double what you get with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.
Sure, the Pi Zero 2 W wins when it comes to portability and having WiFi/Bluetooth built in, but it's limited by its 512MB of slower LPDDR2 RAM and you're stuck with microSD storage. The La Frite though? It supports replaceable eMMC and has a built-in 10/100 Ethernet port, making it a better option for projects like a Pi-hole or light home server where you need something reliable over the long term. That said, a microSD card slot would have been a lovely option.
If you don't need that tiny Zero form factor, the La Frite gives you a lot more performance and I/O options for exactly the same price.
