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)?
I kinda don't understand the point of the CM5. If you want a SoM, you're generally building something "fancy" around it… and at that point anything involving Broadcom is just about the worst choice. 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 c…
You’re talking about the new (and expensive) Turing RK1 and the Nvidia Jetson as alternatives?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Nothing.
Okay, I'll bite: what's going on? Seriously. I know what a Raspberry Pi 5 is, I have one. No idea what I'm supposed to take away from a "CM5"
Wondering if CM5 will offer enough of a boost to allow on-device LLM processing on a Home Assistant Yellow.
Guessing the answer is no, but it might be worth trying.
Went down the voice assistant rabbit-hole with Home Assistant. To integrate with an LLM, you will need a separate processor (or connect to the cloud service).

I agree the really well supported platforms are both older as well as more expensive (e.g. i.MX & Sitara platforms.) However, I won't call the RK1 "expensive" considering it outperforms the Raspberry Pi (5) by a larger factor than it is pricier by (roughly.)
[Ed.:] Actually, no, the RK1 isn't better either, given there doesn't even seem to be a datasheet available for the module as a whole.
I guess I'm just living in my expensive but well-supported world of NXP, TI and ST SoMs that I can actually debug…
Did anyone grab a screenshot or copy of this before it was deleted? Archive.is/archive.org don't seem to have it.
