Worth noting that today, 29th Feb, is now arguably just the second
anniversary of the Raspberry Pi's release and that it is now eight years
old. Their initial product as released in 2012 was amazing value and, on
top of that, the Foundation points out the progress they've made since
then:

  ----- From the website -----
Effective immediately, you will be able to buy a no-compromises desktop
PC for the same price as Raspberry Pi 1 in 2012. In comparison to that
original machine, we offer:

40× the CPU performance
8× the memory
10× the I/O bandwidth
4× the number of pixels on screen
Two screens instead of one
Dual-band wireless networking

And of course, thanks to inflation, $35 in 2012 is equivalent to nearly
$40 today. So effectively you’re getting all these improvements, and a
$5 price cut.

We’re going to keep working to make Raspberry Pi a better desktop computer.
  ----- End of text -----

That's from https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/.

I might take issue with their description a "no-compromises desktop PC"
but the development has been very impressive.

And, what's more, it's good to see they intend the developments to
continue!
