At 12W under load, it's getting close to X86 processors in energy consumption.
12w? Explaining Computers did some stress testing and only pulled 6 but that was without stressing the GPU too
Oh, hell yeah. Preordered.
Where were you able to pre order from? I can't find anywhere.
Just went down their posted reseller list by location: https://www.raspberrypi.com/resellers/
In the U.S., Sparkfun was already taking preorders. The others will probably get their own page up soon.
every site i checked lists this at $65+ for the base model... is this even a Raspberry Pi at that point? 2x the performance for 2x the price isn't actually much of a deal, and they stuck to the $35 MSRP so doggedly before (even if resellers tended to jack it up). their competitors must be breathing a sigh of relief.
Was hoping for PoE without the need for a hat :p
get them passive filters they are great
That would have been a big improvement for homelab uses, but it’s probably considered a niche feature overall, hence the PoE Hat.
I’m wondering how it will work now they are pushing a dedicated cooler however. The PoE Hat has a little fan but doesn’t allow for heatsink. Perhaps there will be a new Pi5 PoE Hat.
EDIT: The PoE header on the Pi 5 has been moved, so a new PoE HAT will be required, but has not been announced yet.
Well makes sense it's coming out during Halloween. Because their price points are getting pretty scary
It's a strange beast, i feel like I'd like it as alow powered desktop substitute as it's too powerful/draws roouch power to be used in place of a microcontroller. But it's not got enough ram to act as a useful desktop either. Probably just my own usecase, but 16GB would be perfect
i wish they'd make a verson with more ram!
8gb isn't enough? What are you computing on it?
There will never be enough RAM or storage.
Orange Pi 5 and 5 plus got 16gb. Orange Pi 5 got even 32Gb.
It says 4 GB and 8 GB versions available at launch. Does that imply there's a higher capacity version later on?
the current board only offers 1, 2, 4 and 8GB. They'll likely release a 5B at some point with 16GB if needed.
Ngl I think they could do better on the CPU front. Competing boards offer the RK octa-core that matches the Big cores on the Pi but offers 4 extra Little cores. Though they seem to have better drivers here
