I was considering the pi the question is though is it powerful enough to perform necessary calculations one might find in a pos system

This is what Wikipedia (a great source of information) says:

    Business model

    Unlike other microprocessor corporations such as AMD, Intel,
    Freescale (formerly Motorola) and Renesas (formerly Hitachi and
    Mitsubishi Electric), ARM only licenses its technology as
    intellectual property (IP), rather than manufacturing its own CPUs.
    Thus, there are a few dozen companies making processors based on
    ARM's designs. Intel, Samsung,[29] Texas Instruments, Analog
    Devices, Atmel, Freescale, Nvidia, Qualcomm, STMicroelectronics and
    Renesas have all licensed ARM technology. In the fourth quarter of
    2010, 1.8 billion chips based on an ARM design were
    manufactured.

If you're trying to find some inexpensive ARM-based board for your
project, without having any additional information from you, I'd
recommend you starting with a Raspberry Pi [1].
