sbc.compare launched on 19 October 2025. A year on, here's everything we've added: new benchmarks, cooler testing, price tracking, better search and more.
SBC prices over the last 7 days: 1 drop and 2 rises of 10% or more across tracked boards.
Everything added to sbc.compare in August 2026: 6 new boards, 6 new SoCs, 9 verified benchmark runs and more.
The June 2026 Raspberry Pi OS update jumps to the Linux 6.18 kernel, bumps labwc to 0.9.7 for Wayland, refreshes app icons and squashes a pile of bugs.

The Orange Pi 6 lands below the 6 Plus with the same CIX P1 silicon, up to 24GB RAM and dual 2.5GbE. Here's how the two compare, and why the timing is odd.
Orange Pi expands on its position in the AI computing space with the AI Station, featuring Huawei's Ascend 310 processor delivering 176 TOPS across 16 CPU cores and 10 AI cores.
The Raspberry Pi 5 gets a 1GB RAM variant, and the rest of the Pi 5 range gets price increases. Thanks AI.
