Default September Surprises...

Built around a VIA Esther (C7) CPU clocked at 1 GHz the Pico can accomplish many
smaller tasks just fine. Geekbench rating for this kit was 384. Note: I wouldn’t
use this to recode video, but it’s perfect as a mini media center for a car or
for a home web server. One of the most attractive features is the low power
consumption. With power consumption around 13 Watts (20W loaded) the Pico will
cost less than $25 to run non-stop for a year.

Bottom Line
While this is not going to break any compute records, it is a solid platform to
build upon.
