[arm-allstar] the Pi3 is on the way...

[Dave Miller]

I see they announced the Odroid C2 recently.. If you want a screaming SBC
with high throughput look there. I really hope that more consideration is
given what is a superior platform.

No commercial relationship with them but a customer of their boards.
