Abstract

Raspberry Pi is the name of a series of single-board computers (SBCs) developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in association with Broadcom, with the main purpose to educate people in computing at low cost. The first Raspberry Pi version launched in 2012 and as the time went by, several iterations and variations introduced into the market since then. This paper presents a performance benchmarking of a variety of Raspberry Pi’s focusing on the (RPi) 2 model B, vs RPi 3 model B vs RPi 3 model B+ vs the latest version RPi 4 model B (8GB). The SW tools used “SysBench” “hardinfo”, “Linpack”, “iPerf data transfer”, which stress test the CPU and RAM performance, File I/O and LAN/Wi-Fi networking performance, as well. Following this survey, the performance results, with the technical pros and cons of various RPis gives a comprehensive outlook of benefits to use those tiny and affordable single board computers (SBCs). Eventually, it can be seen that the RPi 4 model B (8GB) introduces a decent performance improvement among the RPi’s predecessors and unquestionably RPi 4B (8GB) is more powerful and quicker.
