Intel is now shipping a new single-board computer, the Joule 550x, that will challenge the dominance of Raspberry Pi.

The board was announced in August but didn’t ship right away. The Joule 550x is a full-fledged computer on a small circuit board, and it packs more horsepower and graphics capabilities than the Raspberry Pi 3.

But at prices of up to US$349, the Joule 550x costs about 10 times more than Raspberry Pi 3. The board is now available from online retailer Mouser. It is available for $291 on Newegg.
