The Vero is based on Cortex A9 architecture, Pi 2 on Cortex A7. This means that the quad core vs dual core set up is pretty much neck and neck. I’ve been lucky enough to have both by my side and find Vero to be faster. This is because of the 64-bit DDR3 memory. There’s also a more robust USB controller on the Vero which brings for more stabler IO at times. In short the Vero offers:
The Vero offers:
- 64-bit DDR3 memory
- HD audio (DTS TrueHD Master Audio and Dolby Digital Plus)
- Better USB architecture
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Integrated 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth
The Vero also comes with an enclosure, power supply and remote which means it has everything you need to get up and running out of the box. We want Vero to be
completely plug and play, which is one of the reasons we’ve resisted selling a ‘barebone’ version.
There is a lot planned for Vero and a couple of features which are coming to it that the Pi won’t be able to support. Stay tuned on that front.
