#12Everything else looks great but those filthy nasty micro HDMIs need to go away. Why do those still exist? It's like still using MicroUSB. I guess it must have something to do with legacy digital signage or something but still. Full size HDMI is fine because it's what everyone already has cables for, anything small could just be USB-C. Couldn't they have even just gone with a single USB-C and done the dual monitors wi…
The problem with putting USB-C video on there is that USB-C is DisplayPort, and there's a good chance for various reasons (last time it was said that at least historically, the Raspberry Pi is a cut down version of a Broadcom chip that was used in a set top box or media player or something) the SoC only has an HDMI interface block on it and not a DisplayPort one. Thus, supporting this would require the addition of at…
Would love to use a Pi with my portable monitor, but no idea how without this.

#13> Leaked Isn't a lot of RPi5 info now public? For example: https://www.phoronix.com/review/raspberry-pi-5-benchmarks
How did you get a link that is not on the Phoronix home page, and has not shown up on my RSS reader yet?
If it were time to be announced, I would expect to see other articles and videos, but googling restricted to the last 24 hours turns up nothing.

#14Looks like a few places are blowing embargoes (or at least the release time wasn't well coordinated). From the original Farnell email links, products aren't available to purchase yet (the links go to the RPi4 landing page).

> The Raspberry Pi 5 also features a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface for improved connectivity
This is something that's very interesting to me... from the photos of the board it looks like the PCIe port is being exposed over the same kind of ribbon cable socket as the camera. The PCIe port is one of the best parts of the CM4, so it's great to see this as part of the vanilla RPi (assuming this is all legit).

#15Geekbench results for RPi 5 https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q...
I wish they had a slightly more competitive CPU. If these results are real, my 6+ year old phone has better scores than Rpi 5.
I have an RPi4, and there are a whole bunch of things I can't do with it because it's just too slow and inefficient. I get that being slow is fine for many tasks, but one can wish.

#16I'll never understand putting half the ports on one side of the board and half the ports on another. There is no neat way of running a Pi either headless or plugged into a display and keyboard/mouse that doesn't involve an absolute clusterf** of cables going every which way on your desk.
I get that the board is small, but, put the most commonly used ports on one edge, and extra/accessory ports on another. Power, network, two USB, and one display on one edge, that's all I want, so I can neatly tuck this into a shelf or rack, or at the very least orient the thing on my workbench so all of the cables are coming out one way. It's not like I can put my Pi 5 in a Pi 3 case, so what's the path dependency on footprint and layout? This form factor frankly sucks, and I can't see a good reason why they've stuck with it other than "that's the way the B has always been laid out".

I guess the choice is between single output big hdmi vs. two small.
I'd prefer a single big one but don't care too much either way, you don't get new cables, you get an adapter.
Much more concerned about the micro-sd slot. Biggest mistake and hassle of all the Pis.

Interesting, I didn't know.

Like everything else in regards to Raspberry Pi, the answer is cost[1].
