A new, high-speed competitor to Raspberry Pi could soon be hitting store shelves. Libre Computer just announced on Twitter that its next-generation line of single-board computers, which it calls Project Cottonwood, will be available in Q3 with the flagship "Big Cottonwood" offering speeds that are double those of a Raspberry Pi 4, the fastest Pi on the market today.
Long known as a maker of Raspberry Pi-sized boards, the Shenzhen China-based company posted just a single image of Project Cottonwood, along with a handful of details. These will be at least two SKUs: a "Little Cottonwood" that costs $10 more than the brand's current "Le Potato" board, which goes for $35 on Amazon, and a "Big Cottonwood" that costs twice as much as Le Potato but is double the speed of the Pi 4. Doing the math, that sounds like $45 and $70 for the two boards respectively.
