Odroid-SoC
The Odroid-C1 is a single-board computer for a very low price as $35.00, created by Hardkernel Co., Ltd., an open-source hardware company located in South Korea. It is very similar to the Raspberry Pi B+ but is quite faster and with 1 GB it has more RAM.
The C1 was released in 2014 November. The whole package with board, bootloader and operating system had some issues, but with the Ubuntu 14.04 build of 2015-01-20 most of these bugs have been fixed and the system is running satisfactorily.
The Odroid-C2 competes with the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and was released in 2016 March. It is available for $40.00 and thereby slightly more expensive than the C1 but has much more computing power and comes with 2 GB RAM.
