Creating the Raspberry Pi credit card sized

The initial goal in creating the Raspberry Pi credit card sized, Linux-based Single Board Computer (SBC) – targeted primarily at education – was to develop a response to the decline of students engaging with computer science and related engineering disciplines. Our desire was to reverse the trend of children becoming consumers rather than creators. The following case study follows the hardware development process from an early failure, initial prototypes, and through to the finished production design.

Over recent years there has been an increasing trend for children to be consumers of digital content rather than be future creators or engineers. This trend is driven by manufacturers looking to provide a seamless experience for target customers on a variety of electronic platforms, from gaming consoles to tablets and laptop computers.
As a result, access to raw I/O has become restricted. Similarly, any packaged provision of a programming environment is an anathema to the products’ commercial goals.

Dual-core Celerons include the same power-saving features

 Intel Celeron Dual-Core processor family is the latest generation of Celeron-branded budget microprocessors. The family was introduced in January 2008, and currently consists of 7 desktop and 9 mobile microprocessors. The Celeron Dual-core family is based on Core microarchitecture, and includes all basic Core features:

• 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data cache per core;
• Level 2 cache shared between two cores.
• Support for SSE3 and Supplemental SSE3 instructions. Improvements in Core micro-architecture allow the CPU to execute up to one 128-bit SSE instruction each clock cycle.
• Intel 64 technology, formerly known as Extended Memory 64 Technology, or EM64T.
• Disable bit feature. When supported by operating system, this feature prevents system infection by certain group of viruses and malicious programs.
• Desktop Celeron E3xxx processors, based on newer Wolfdale core, feature Virtualization technology.
