September is almost over, but let's look at what happened in August!

The @sinovoip Banana Pi official bpi-shop links are working properly now, so price history will be updated. Amazon tracking is now mostly there, but no history.
Discontinued boards like sbc.compare/raspberry-pi-2-m… now show that, the RRP, and any current price found on Amazon.
I want to include AliExpress but they want ID and a phone call for API access soo.. Let's see
I'm slowly building up the price tracking of all boards available on the site, and you can get an overview of these at sbc.compare/price-changes as time goes on.
You can also see price history on every board page, such as sbc.compare/raspberry-pi-5#p…

.. and for those that want to see the outcome of that @orangepixunlong Zero 4 testing!

I snuck in a little new feature to the sidebar on sbc.compare/browse
It's fairly basic, it matches SBC/SoC manufacturers, names, some aliases etc, but hopefully it will help a little! Drop a reply if you notice any funkiness..

I wanted to add extra GPU options to the benchmark suite, sooo I added @nihui's vkpeak to cover a range of options. Only the @RadxaComputer X4L on sbc.compare/vkpeak so far, but as with others, new boards will be tested with it, and others backfilled later!
For full data, the table at the bottom of the comparison pages such as sbc.compare/radxa-x4l is where it will live.

Sunday update time!
📈 SBC pricing is now monitored daily, with auto updates of performance per $ values. Price history graphs and stock notices avail once there's a few more days data, along with a dedicated price changes page.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

These graphs would have been a lot more interesting if I did this from the start, please accept my apologies. It will be fun to see how they trend over time during, and (hopefully) after this RAM nonsense sorts itself out.
Also, Amazon prices will never show in the history graphs as they forbid it if you're a member of their affiliate program, aaand AliExpress figures will be tracked once they let me into their API funhouse. So some prices may still be a bit wonky or wrong, but we're getting there..

Small UX change today (well, on the surface it's small) to make the URLs a little nicer to read and share. I've dropped the ID and RAM capacities, so if you're after the @Raspberry_Pi 5, that's now just sbc.compare/raspberry-pi-5 and the RAM variants are available from a drop-down.

I already owned the Pinecil and Pine Power devices, however @thepine64 SBCs eluded me, until now..

ICYMI: I launched a "Top Trumps" style game, SBC Showdown. Guess which board is better in which category, learn a little, and blast past my streak of 13 correct answers..

So many boards, so little time.. I think there are still 10-15 in various states of testedness (let me have this one, it's early) for a multitude of reasons. Software support and documentation from vendors definitely isn't one of them. Definitely not.

Many of you asked for Luckfox on the site, and the Aura is 1st of 4 that will be available in the near future.
sbc.compare/126-luckfox-aura…
It's also the 1st with the RV1126B SoC. Rolls off the tongue, that..

Sorry if you’re a Singapore user of the site.. I’ve not blocked you, but you’ll likely have to complete a challenge. The amount of bots originating from SG was insane, so I had to do something ðŸ˜

Geekbench 7 has been out for a little while now, and I'm still slowly trying to backfill data, bear with me! We have some ARM, RISC-V, and amd64 results in already, and every (new/existing) board with >4GB RAM will be tested eventually.
Any other tests of interest? I'm all ears!

The @orangepixunlong Orange Pi 6 (16GB) data is here!
Same CIX P1 SoC as the 6+, 1,343/6,743 on GB6, and 135 GFLOPS in Linpack. That's within shouting distance of the 32GB 6+… at $359 instead of $669.

It's crazy to think that there are now 117 SBCs with results up on the website. That's over 2500 benchmark results, and far too many hours 🥹 Still working through a backlog, still sourcing new boards, still crazy enough to enjoy it, and still open to feedback and feature reqs!

The Hardkernel ODROID C1 is finally on the site, after spending far too long arguing with it about whether it wanted to boot.
Amlogic S805, 4x Cortex-A5, 1GB. This is 2014/15 Pi-competitor energy. Useful as a reference point more than a recommendation.

At the time of testing, 4 of the top 5 "best value" SBCs during my testing were from @RadxaComputer. I need to look into proper price tracking, but times are tough..
