#32They announce the product but you can't even pre-order it, a typical pi experience.
Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#33They say that the silicon was "designed in-house" for the best possible performance. What does that mean, exactly? Does it have semi-custom ARM cores? That seems unlikely to me.
Its not the main SOC that was designed in house, it is an I/O processor. Which still sounds great. There is much more I/O throughput which has plenty of value for me (robotics).

#34I would love to see a more side by side comparison of specs. 2-3x times the speed pretty good though. The raspi 4 was just on the cusp of being usable as a main computer, I wonder how good this will be.

#35Doh! I was just able to purchase my first Pi4 this month!

#36What is (or would be) the "Tsundoku" equivalent for Raspberry Pi? I started with Pi-Hole a few years back but ended up with a commercial paid DNS resolver. The timeline usually goes like this -- will stumble on another interesting video of Jeff Geerling, then spend the weekend tinkering with the Pi, keeps running, forget about it, found it to be not needed, plugs off and is lying around.

I think it’s hard to generalize that into a phenomenon.
I have always bought 2 new raspberry pies with every release. I’ve used some and forgotten, unplugged some, given away some, broke some, and now they’re all used in some way.
I bought them because I knew I’ll use them. I didn’t buy any other random toys or mini computing devices (even though they were alluring) because I knew I wouldn’t use them.
There should be a name for the art of making every thing that randomly happens to some people into a phenomenon.

#37will it be unobtanium?
sounds like it's designed to be that way, yes.

#38> 4Kp60 HEVC decoder
This is game changer as TV box.
Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#39anyone could tell me how did you use raspberry pi?
The Raspberry Pi CM4 is the main system processor for our open source solar powered farming robot called Acorn. I designed a custom motherboard for it in Kicad. We also use the Raspberry Pi RP2040 processor on our custom dual brushless motor controllers (also designed in Kicad).

Re: Raspberry Pi 5
#40Only quad core, no 16gb or 32gb ram option and pcie only available through a hat (and possibly slower than the usb3 port)? I was expecting a bit more to be honest.
Same. Went with Odroid HS3+ instead and couldn't be happier
