Processor Speed for Raspberry PI and Arduino

    Hello Everyone, I want to know, Is arduino better in processor speed or raspberry PI? I want to build my career but which language is better for a future point of view. As my research difference in processor speed between Raspberry Pi and Arduino is quite clear and vast and comparing the clock speed of Arduino Uno board and Raspberry Pi Model B board, we see the values 16 MHz and 700 MHz respectively. Is it right information? Can anyone suggest me head to head comparison between both?

    The difference in processor speed between Raspberry Pi and Arduino is quite clear and vast, which is due to the fact that the former is a fully operational computer while other is a microprocessor. Comparing the clock speed of Arduino Uno board and Raspberry Pi Model B board, we see the values 16 MHz and 700 MHz respectively. Therefore, the Raspberry device is 40 times faster than the Arduino board. Moreover, the Pi board has a staggering 128,000 times more RAM than the Arduino board, which has a RAM of 0.002 MB.

    One important thing to remember is that Arduino is just a plug and play device and can be turned ON and OFF at any time without any damage. But the Raspberry Pi runs on an operating system and is a full computer in itself, which requires a proper shutdown before power is withdrawn. Improper shutdown(s) of Raspberry Pi might damage the board, corrupt the applications and may even affect the processor speed.
