Pinebook Pro performance vs. Raspberry Pi 4? - yangmusa - 02-05-2020
Apologies if this has already been posted - I did a search without finding anything relevant.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB running Manjaro ARM, so I have a good idea of the performance of that SBC. The Raspberry Pi Foundation have said it can replace your PC.. While it's amazing for the money, I don't know that I could use it as an everyday computer. It's close, but I think I'd find it a bit frustrating.
I'm hoping one of you has both an RPi4 and a Pinebook Pro and know how they perform relative to each other. I'm just trying to get a sense of if it would work well for my uses.
My use case is:
- Replace Asus C302 Chromebook Flip - Core m3-7Y30, 4 GB ram
- Might also replace Dell Latitude 7370 with Core M7-6Y75, 8 GB ram, alternating Linux Mint, Fedora, Manjaro..
- The C302 feels super fast and battery life is great - I'm creeped out by Google's privacy issues, but they know how to build an optimized OS. The 7370 performs ok but feels a bit borderline and battery life is disappointing. They both get Octane scores in the low 20,000s.
- Web browsing
- Documents, presentations, spreadsheets
- No games
- Ideally 8+ hours battery
- USB-C DisplayPort a must (which the Pinebook has!)

If you want to replace an m3-7y30, PBP will not fully replace that performance. When you just compare the Geekbench score and compare both systems in real work, you will see the significant difference, cause PBP is at least twice slower.
I have the same CPU in my Teclast F6 Pro and it is a huge difference. Teclast runs Linux with KDE smoothly with all desktop effects while I have to turn off all the desktop effects on PBP to have usable speed.

rk3399 is about twice as fast as the rpi4b's bcm2711. i think your experience will depend on how much graphics/video you utilize for any small sbc-like computer.
