what does /g/ think of the Pine64?

I literally just found this, but I'm really having a hard time believing the $15 price tag for something that's even more powerful than the Raspberry Pi 2 which is a round $35
Looks cool
bumping for interest

first i've heard of it
Looks nice. Might consider picking one of these up soon.
>>52493481
Looks too good to be true, hence the kickstarter. We'll see.

>oh look another revolutionary never been done before cheap arm computer in a similar form factor to a certian fruit pie device
Looks like off brand raspberry pi.
that's cool!
I can make a selfie machine! XDD

Does anyone know if this is better than a new alienware for playing games (like crysis) or if i'd be better off with ayylmaoware?

Bumping for interest
Does it even decode 10bit videos?
Can it run Crysis?

Is it FOSS?
Should scrap the other versions.
Android is fucking garbage without at least 2GB ram.
While it adds cost it make the device actually usable.

>IT'S A SUPER COMPUTER!
No it's not.
Stop calling literally everything a supercomputer. If your device does not excede the compute capabilities of a typical consumer machine by several orders of magnitude, it is not a supercomputer.
I'm intrigued. I'll reserve judgement until reviews hit.
I already own three raspberry pis, though. Rpi2 works pretty gud as a kodimachine, streaming off a nas. It could however be better.
I have backed the version with 2 GB RAM. I just like to try it. There will be work for it to do. But maybe not Crisis...

it does H.264 and H.265 Decoding on the Mali GPU
>The typical desktop computer or server will operate anywhere between 75 to 300 watts
Come on now, even a decent desktop these days is ~50 watts idle.
Anyway, it looks like they took the hardware from the Remix Mini and removed the case, built-in wifi, bluetooth, extra RAM and internal storage. Which explains why it's so cheap.

Please come back when the final product is released.

The word supercomputer bugs me the way they're using it, although it is compared at an Apple I which one of the people in this project made a prototype for back in the 70s

>kickstarter
Gross, no thanks op.
people wanting to rip off raspberry pi and make a quick buck. into the trash it goes.
>>52493481
meh it doesn't have an audio port.
i have a quad core arm with 2gb of ram. called the cubox i4pro.
it sucks.

Hardware h265 encoding? That's pretty nice.

It's not hard to believe, check out the Orange Pi PC, it costs $15 and is at least as powerful as the raspberry pi 2.
but of course, the linux/software support is much much worse than the rpi 2, and I imagine that will be the same for the Pine64 - no accelerated video unless you use android, binary drivers, waiting years for mainline kernel support, etc.
you're probably better off getting a rpi 2 to be honest.
It's practically the exact same thing as an orange pi, but with less features

Where can you get an orange pi for $15?
>>52498832
AliExpress
can i run photoshop cs6 on this?
