Tips
- Shut down the Raspberry Pi properly:
- use the GUI or the command:
sudo shutdown -h now - (just pulling the plug may cause memory card corruption.)
- At times the Pi 3 B+ may seem slow or unresponsive, so check the green light at the edge of the board for activity.
- Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (2017) 1400 MHz:
- WolframMark Benchmark Result: 0.14
- Raspberry Pi 400 1800 MHz:
- WolframMark Benchmark Result: 0.23
- Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (2018), 2000 MHz:
- WolframMark Benchmark Result: 0.24
