  • Raspi4?

    $94 from PiAustralia, or $144 with a case, psu, cables, etc from RS. (both 4GB version, 2GB stock hasn’t been reliable since Covid)

    Plays h.264/265 at 60fps fine, does 10bit too both via hardware accel, can play 1080p vp9 but it’s CPU decode only, can’t handle AV1.

    2x minihdmi, USB-C for power (needs 5V 3A), 802.11ac and BT5, pcie ethernet.

    Raspi5 is a lot more money and removed h264 hardware accel.

















  • I don’t think it’d be that high, retail prices on similar hardware to the specs is ~USD$700, including a (crappy) case and a (decent) PSU.

    I think Valve could get it to $649 without subsidy.

    Just due to not having pay as much for the parts, they’d be getting the cpu+gpu directly from AMD as ‘semi-custom’ parts, so there is no Distributor, wholesaler or retailer profits to bundle in, the GPU is on the main board too, so no extra AIB profits to worry about on the GPU.

    DRAM will be a ‘fun’ one due to price fluctuations though.

    Really depends on how much profit they want to make.
