The difference of performance between 3 versions of Raspberry Pi, the comparison.

I have the basic benckmarks for Raspberry Pi version 1, 2 and 3, and here is the comparison, all the benchmarks on different Pis are using the same operating system / package, so there won’t be a difference from the version of software.

The testing platform:

RASPBIAN JESSIE
Version: February 2016
Release date: 2016-02-26
Kernel version: 4.1

Since I just did these benchmarks on Raspberry Pi 3:

https://www.peterdavehello.org/2016/03/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-basic-benchmarks/

The Raspbian and all the softwares are up to date, so the benchmark results of Raspberry Pi 3 are just copied from that post, they are the same result. The results from Pi 1/2 are whole new tested, in fact they are very close to the test results I did before, I would say they are all in the tolerance scope, so I’ll just ignore the detail of the benchmarks, only focus on the final results, the performance.

PHP benchmark Script using PHP 5.6.17-0+deb8u1: (in secs, the lower the better)
Raspberry Pi model B+ – 141.145
Raspberry Pi 2 model B – 48.113, 293% faster than Pi 1
Raspberry Pi 3 model B – 26.984, 523% faster than Pi 1, 178% faster than Pi 2

PHP benchmark Script using PHP 7.0.3-5: (in secs, the lower the better)
Raspberry Pi model B+ – 48.153
Raspberry Pi 2 model B – 17.27, 279% faster than Pi 1
Raspberry Pi 3 model B – 10.239, 470% faster than Pi 1, 169% faster than Pi 2

sysbench v0.4.12 single thread: (cpumaxprime=20000,in secs, the lower the better)
Raspberry Pi model B+ – 1332.0115
Raspberry Pi 2 model B – 765.2441, 174% faster than Pi 1
Raspberry Pi 3 model B – 478.0941, 748% faster than Pi 1, 160% faster than Pi 2

Raspberry Pi 3 model B basic benchmarks

As the benchmarks I ran on Raspberry Pi B+ and Raspberry Pi 2 model B, let’s do some basic benchmarks on the latest Raspberry Pi 3.

Let’s have some photos first:

My Raspberry Pi 3 crashed during the benchmarking … so I just added a heat sink on it …

See:

This is the testing platform:

RASPBIAN JESSIE

Raspberry Pi (1) Model B+ basic benchmarks

hmmmm … I’ve made some simple and basic benchmarks on Roseapple Pi and Raspberry Pi 2, so here come the very late benchmarks(HardinfosysbenchPHP benchmark Script) on the first generation Raspberry Pi. Actually, I bought the Raspberry Pi Model B very early, and the experience about the performance of it is not so good, to do some benchmarks is just for understanding the performance difference.

I’m using Model B+ here, which has the same chip Broadcom BCM2835 as Model be does, although it has larger main memory than Model A+, due to the benchmarks are very simple, and focus on CPU, so I don’t expect a notable performance difference between model A+ and B+(or model B).

In this post, the platform is Raspberry Pi (1st gen) model B+ using Raspbian Jessie.

Raspberry Pi 2 model B basic benchmarks

Just want to compare Raspberry Pi 2’s performance with Roseapple Pi’s, not only which one is faster, but also how faster, so I just did the same basic benchmarks on Raspberry Pi 2, and maybe will also do the same benchmarks (Hardinfo 、sysbench、PHP benchmark Script) on the 1st generation of Raspberry Pi.

Roseapple Pi benchmark:

The platform is Raspberry Pi 2 model B using Raspbian Jessie, no Android this time.
