You can get a wyse thin client on eBay for $50, and if you're clustering the pis it's not $50 anymore, so you can get a real computer on woot in the $150 range.
Either of those options will run circles around a pi/pi cluster.
Please learn to read. Again. I thought I wasn't on Reddit anymore.
$50 for a pi. Not for clustering. For one. That's it.
An X86 PC is gonna cost you hundreds. That's how I can cluster rpi, for the same cost. I hope you now know how to do basic math.
Insulting my reading ability and math skills would work better if you weren't making a fool of yourself.
I gave you an example of a $50 x86 PC and mentioned the more expensive options because you brought up building a pi cluster in your first response to me, at which point you're not talking about spending $50 anymore.
The main point is that either the thin client or the slightly more expensive computer will runs circles around your pi(s) for the same price.
No you didn't. You gave an example of a >= 200 x86 PC... So, like... That's why I even suggested clustering. To match the cost of your claim.

Maybe you should worry more about your own reading and math skills than mine.
Oh, so like... A worthless fucking machine... Sure. You use that. Let me know how many minutes that lasts, on your fucking Celeron lmao
And in any case, that's a used vs new ... Like.. bruh, their new ones start at 700... I can buy 14 pis for that...
Hey, that's what I always end up thinking when I try to use a pi for anything.
But if you actually check the numbers, that has pretty similar specs to the Pi4 but supports virtualization and has more ram. And the wyse runs on a real hard drive instead of an SD card or some janky USB setup.
TIL nvme is a janky USB setup

But also general reply to that. Similar specs to the pi4, sure, but what about the 5 that is 3x as fast? It also has the same amount of RAM that the small 5 does. And by the way the link you posted, it runs off of an emmc drive... As in it's effectively an SD card... Just, embedded. (Hence the "e")
