I've been waiting for this, now, the question is, is this a drop-in replacement for the CM4? If so, these will sell really well (and will have shortages)
What's something you do with these compute modules (CM)?
What does this mean for someone non-technical who uses a Pi for home files server?
We all knew this was coming, but my question is what's the topology? The same as the regular Pi5, with the RP1 southbridge built-in and only one PCIe lane exposed for the user, or does the CM5 leave off the RP1 and break out all five PCIe lanes for user shenanigans? They have a bare chip supply chain set up from the RP2040, so they could sell the RP1 separately for those who want to integrate it onto their carrier bo…
It looks like the CM5 still has one PCIe lane. https://pip.raspberrypi.com/categories/945-forward-guidance

Something which would most likely to be too niche of a market but which I would spend almost unreasonable money on would be a framework like laptop which one could upgrade by popping in a new cm every other year.

I guess it gets some bump from the shared platform with the Pi, but… there's enough SoMs with good platform support at this point. And it's not like they're notably cheaper than those either?
(ed. I guess they are still cheaper than competing SoMs with roughly equal performance… but you pay the price of a poor closed platform instead)
