Yes; check my blog post [1] or latest YouTube video [2] for details, but the tldr is 0.4W (80 mA) idle minimum for Zero W, 0.6W (100 mA) idle minimum for Zero W 2. Zero W goes up to 160 mA at load, while Zero W 2 gets up to 400-500 mA due to the three extra CPU cores. [1] https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/look-inside-raspberry...

2W! Did you measure Gflops? I wish you could disable cores dynamically...
Is undervolting an option?
Re: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
#33I've been testing one for a couple weeks, and a quick rundown on it: it has a quad-core A53, same CPU/SoC core as the Pi 3, with 512 MB of RAM. This means it can run 64-bit Pi OS, but it is memory-limited and even some of the benchmarks I ran needed extra swap space to complete. But for anything that does run in the 512 MB of LPDDR2 RAM, it is at least twice as fast as the Zero/Zero W, and sometimes 3-8x faster, depe…
As for the RAM limitation, zswap is a great way to get some more RAM at cost of some CPU cycles which on the new Pi won't be an issue.

#34side rant: it's annoying how you can't buy these things by themselves, usually bundled with crap I do want this, I think it's taken for granted how easy this thing can connect to a camera. I bought a Teensy/blue/BeagleBone/etc.. thinking "Oh I'll just plug in a camera into it". For the Teensy it won't but maybe the Beagle bone. I was using a single core Pi Zero so it was noticeable doing things like iterating over fr…
I think that's more due to the 3rd party seller than the raspberry pi foundation. I just picked one up from the pihut[0] without anything bundled in.

#35Yay, another thing i won't be able to find anywhere for a year, then find it for $25 with "only one per customer"and $15 shipping.
I understand it's a global chip shortage, but when zero W came out, there wasn't one.

It seems pretty easy to order just the Pi? I opened the US suppliers, and of the ones that aren't already out of stock, you can: buy directly from Makerbright: https://makerbright.com/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-.html or place an order, which will ship in early November, from: * Sparkfun https://www.sparkfun.com/products/18713 * PiShop https://www.pishop.us/product/raspberry-pi-zero-w-2/ * CanaKit https://www.canakit.com/r…
Zero WH and Zero bundles are unlimited but bare Zero/Zero W are limited to 1 per customer/account/shipping address. Allegedly sold at loss, that’s also why Zero WH exists.

#37Tangential but important : supply :)
Here in Australia, seems like it is available from Nov 8 at Core electronics [0]

That's why they called it Pi Zero 2 W and not Pi Zero W 2, which is what it is.
Re: Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
#39Super exciting! We use the previous gen at my company to run octoprint software for our 3d printer farm and they do tend to run quite slow. This should be a nice needed upgrade. In general the RPI Zero series is really great value for a tiny linux machine.
According to the OctoPrint Twitter handle, it runs great as an OctoPrint server[1]! [1] https://twitter.com/OctoPrint3D/status/1453608862188249095
I can't wait for this too. I've got a Prusa printer that's got the perfect spot for Pi Zero, but its never quite had enough juice to run octopi with all the trimmings.

#40One thing which I miss on RPis, especially these tiny ones, is a tty exposed via the charging USB.
Or even better USB OTG.
