Remember the Raspberry Pi, the $25 computer intended to promote first- and third-world education one game developer is launching? The Raspberry Pi foundation has posted a video of a standard alpha board Raspberry Pi unit playing Quake 3 at 1920×1080 resolution.
Though the computer isn’t intended as a gaming platform, it is a great way to demonstrate just how capable the little ARM-powered Linux gadget is with a decently-demanding graphical game. “I remember spending 250, 300 pounds on a graphics card that couldn’t render it this fast,” founder and designer Eben Upton says during the clip.
If it can run Quake 3 this well, imagine how well it can run educational software, or read e-books, and so on. It will be interesting to see the effects when the computer hits production.
