#2This is what sets the raspberry pi apart from all other SBCs in my experience: software support. Kudos, this is fantastic stuff! Will love to see the ecosystem of stuff that springs up that takes advantage of this.

#3Dumb question - if I want to do simple image processing on a pi4 (2d ffts, small kernels, summing 2d arrays in one dimension, finding Maxima), and I care about performance, is this a reasonable stack to use,with decent prospects or is it faster/safer to stick on the Arm, despite the GPU. 1k x1k monochrome images, at 3-10 fps ( or more)?
Jetson nano seems to be the obvious commodity but pricier alternative with GPU access, but smaller ecosystem.

I wish there was a multi CPU RPI board with M2 option. Sort of like this one:

I would start with whatever is simplest and use the GPU if you actually need to optimize performance.

Vulkan can be used for compute, although I would guess that few applications support that.
For pre Pi4 boards, there is an OpenCL implementation.

Good question, does this mean my family's holy grail of performant Minecraft on a Pi is coming closer?

And yet one of the reason it achieved such great software support is because it had so much success, despite the non-standard hardware (armv6 at launch, broadcom, no EFI boot, broadcom, no GIC, broadcom, no armv8, broadcom, gpu boots before CPU, etc.)

#10What software already supports vulkan (so that it in theory can just be "switched on" for rpi)?
