Default C.H.I.P. The $9 computer

The California-based group behind the project says it's computer is “built for work, play and everything in between.”



At the heart of the C.H.I.P. is a 1GHz Allwinner SoC, with a built-in Mali400 GPU that is compatible with OpenGLES and OpenVG. Backing that up is 512MB of DDR3 RAM and 4GB of flash storage.

That's an impressive amount of capability for $9.
