About two years ago, I had a chance to ask Eben Upton if there would be a new platform like Arduino and Raspberry PI, what characteristics the new platform should have? And he said:

> There's scope for something very powerful (almost PC-like) in the $70 price range. If I was starting a new venture today, this is where I'd aim.

There is very powerful project like Bunnie Huang's Novena [1], but just the board will cost $550.

In a handful of ways the Pi3 is actually more powerful than the novena -- at 1/10th the price.

So the Raspberry Pi is four years old... (according to the article)
