They even officially want to sell you a cooling fan. So I'm assuming the A76 is going to overheat more than the A72 in the 4?

Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#62TBH the thing I hate most about this category of SBC is the reliance on SD cards. They are both too unreliable to trust and so slow that they often bottleneck the SBC. Buying them is often a crap shoot too, I've purchased cards batches of cards from the supposed reputable manufacturers that were all over the board when benchmarked, and rarely did they hit the claimed speed spec. I would love if there was an alternative that was not as much as a jump as those SSD flash drives or NVME drive. Maybe OS grade eMMC M.2 drives the size of those wifi cards?

#63I was hoping for usb-c outputs vs miniHDMI (yeah, I know, they probably want to be compatible ith rpi4 cases, but still...)

I have not broken a "max endurance" SD card yet. But they're pretty expensive.

#65anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?
It conttrols sensors in my desk drawers and notifies me when I have space to buy more Raspberry Pis.

#66will it be unobtanium?
I hope not.
It only feels like recently that you can pick up a RPi 4 used for the price they should've been new. Otherwise, scalped listings on eBay or Amazon have took over. I still want my first RPi but I already have associated them with being hard to buy and way more expensive than makes sense.

This device has a PCIe 2.0 x1 connector now, so NVMe drives should be usable now.
The Compute Module 4 series have been able to support eMMC chips, so I don't see why they wouldn't continue with the 5 if/when it shows up

#68Out of curiosity, does 5V/5A USB-C changer common?
All of my USB-C Chargers has 5V/3A only.

Agreed. I recently had the rather unpleasant discovery that when samsung called their SD cards “high endurance”, they actually meant 3-6 months, and that half of the video on my dashcam was missing.
Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#70I'm tired of information being vague, under-specified, or only available under NDA (if you're lucky). I'm not stupid enough to hop on this ride again. Are there any fully open (in terms of schematics, firmware) RISCV rpi-"compatibles" out there? I'd be happy to pay triple the price of this thing for a power-efficient linux-capable sbc that is open.
What do you mean with vague information? There is an entire blog post describing the product: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/
