CPU/Mobo has there been any raspberry pi versus traditional systems fight ?

Hi all,

Got a bit of daring after seeing the Pi thread on the forum. Now I want to know does anybody know of any face-offs between Pi Model B versus say a Celeron haswell or pre-haswell as well.

In some ways it probably is laughable as the Pi is a single board computer whereas even the cheapest motherboard is a multi-layered 10-12 layers, see https://www.quora.com/How-many-layers-are-there-in-a-typical-motherboard-and-what-are-the-benefits and hence upgradable options are quite a few both in the CPU as well as RAM, graphic card etc. Has there been any such contests/discussions that people have seen on the web. I am not interested in the race with other embedded/SBC boards but versus traditional computers. If you know of any either here or third-party links please share. Hope the mods don't mind.

Also see http://www.fedevel.com/welldoneblog/2013/09/3-steps-how-to-determine-calculate-number-of-pcb-layers/ - it is an advertorial for a course but gives some info. so guess good.

Why would anyone waste time pitting a bulldozer against a ferrari, like you yourself said it's laughable because it's aimed at two completely different set of users.
One is for hobbyists to mess around with while another is pretty much a desktop. It's an unfair comparison on all fronts especially when the latter will cost at least 5 times as much even on the lowest configuration.
