News about Raspberry Pi 6 and Microcontroller Development | Hacker News

Hacker News commenters debated what Raspberry Pi 6 should improve most: faster CPU and I/O, or better sleep states and lower idle power.

Many argued that for embedded and hobby use, efficiency and standby behavior matter more than raw speed.

The thread also highlighted demand for a cheaper low-power board, such as a possible Zero 3W, alongside the Pi lineup.

Commenters corrected some history and current-usage claims, and compared Raspberry Pi boards with other ARM SBCs and Intel N150 systems.
