Raspberry Pi vs Orange Pi 2016-03 Showdown by LoveRPi
With the Raspberry Pi boards armed with Raspbian and the Orange Pi boards armed with Armbian, we performed a full throttle test comparison all boards. We compensated for the Raspberry Pi 3 heat issues wit heatsinks and fan. For more information, see https://www.loverpi.com/blogs/news/95232833-the-epic-battle-of-the-raspberries-and-the-oranges
