8-Way ARM Board Linux Benchmark Comparison From The Pi Zero & ODROID To Tegra
First up is some fun with John The Ripper.
With John The Ripper's Blowfish test, the fastest ARM board of those provided by LoverPi.com was the ODROID C1 Plus, which came in just ahead of the Banana Pi M2. Interestingly, the Jetson TK1 was performing around the same as the Banana Pi M2 for this CPU bound test. Of course, if the GPUs were being utilized for compute, the Jetson TK1 would have come out much stronger. Nevertheless, the Jetson TX1 is by far the fastest ARM SBC -- assuming you have $600 USD to spend.
With the C-Ray multi-threaded ray-tracer, the Tegra boards were leading while the ODROID C1+ continued to lead when it came to these low-cost ARM boards followed by the Banana Pi M2. The slowest board tested aside from the $5 Raspberry Pi Zero was the Orange Pi Plus.
