gollark: The Pi 4 has 4 A72 cores and the RP64 has 2 A72 ones plus 4 A53 ones, but they're clocked higher. I don't know which of those is actually *better*, since I haven't checked benchmarks.
gollark: There's also Pine's own RockPro64, which I think is ~~about as fast~~ somewhat faster as the Pi4 CPU-wise, and the ODROID N2, which is probably one of the most powerful reasonably cheap ARM SBCs about.
gollark: The RPi4 has a better CPU and GPU than the 3, no idea if it can run that.
gollark: <@140164484827185152> On the smart TV thing, I've heard that they're sold for less than "dumb" ones because the manufacturers make money off selling data from them.
gollark: London gets stupidly fast (10Gbit in some places, even) fibre, but most of the UK isn't London.
