But Dude, this is MIPS
Why are we talking about the Tessel 2?
580MHz MediaTek MT7620N MIPS24KEc, 64MB RAM, built-in wireless
High-level hardware APIs…
easier/built-in networking and wifi handling coprocessor for direct GPIO access access point mode
…for everyday inventors
So where to go from here?
GO BIG!
Personal datacenter at ARMs length
Pi Zero Cluster
Compute Module 3
Flat-packed Raspberry Pi 3 - BCM2837 1.2GHz, quad-core, 1GB RAM, 4GB flash
