Same here... I have several projects I want to work on.However I see that they compare to the RPI 1,.. not the new RPI 2...
-
It does not have much over the RPi2 except price
-
Where is their website?
-
Very nice, those are some impressive specs!

Much faster clock speed and a more advanced processor. It's a pretty big jump.

A53 instead of A7, double the GPU cores, 64bit instead of 32bit...
Probably looking at double or more processing performance alone.

33% faster clock speed (which is kinda meaningless) - I'd like to see it benchmarked. Especially for power consumption.

33% faster on a more powerful CPU. So likely a lot faster.

ehhhhhh we'll see

Here is some info. The A53 is the direct replacement for the old A7 architecture.
-
Their not actively selling yet.. crowd-funded...
-
Screw it, funded em for the 64+.

I'll wait to see one benchmarked

@MattSpeller What's your concern? Have you ever, outside of the infamous Pentium 4, seen processors move backwards in power? You really think that ancient 32bit procs might be faster than current 64bit ones?

Curse you for stealing my ready example of why waiting and not being an early adopter is prudent
I worked it in though so I think we're all good.

A53 is not an early adopter, A53 is a venerable three year old processor at this point. It's been the ARM standard for a long time. Even when Raspberry Pi was new the A7 was a surprisingly old, slow processor.
http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a53-processor.php
Here is ARM's own quote: The Cortex-A53 delivers significantly higher performance than the highly successful Cortex-A7, and is capable of deployment as a standalone applications processor or paired with either the Cortex-A72 or Cortex-A57 processor in a big.LITTLE
configuration for optimum performance, scalability and energy efficiency. -

From the video http://www.openhab.org/ looks interesting.

I don't know what I'd use OpenHAB for anything quite honestly.
I don't have a smart thermostat, or Smart Lights or what ever.
So I guess, can someone explain where I might find OpenHAB useful, I highly doubt that I'd program an app to work with a smart thermostat if I had one etc.
