Benchmarks Of The $5 Raspberry Pi Zero

The lone benchmark where the Pi Zero didn't come in last place was for C-Ray where its performance came out ahead of the MIPS Creator CI20. The CI20 has an Ingenic JZ4780 SoC that features a dual-core, 1.2GHz MIPS32 processor.

Well, those are all the benchmarks to share so far. I'm still working on some performance-per-Watt and performance-per-dollar benchmarks along with a larger comparison of ARM single board computers for the next article. If you wish to see how your own Linux system compares performance-wise to the Raspberry Pi Zero, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1512051-MICH-PIZERO041 or phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1512054-HA-RASPPIZER33 to compare your own system's performance side-by-side against the results shown in this article.
