Raspberry Pi 5 revealed, and it should satisfy your need for speed
No longer super-cheap, but boasts better graphics and swifter storage
No fucking way they stuck with mini HDMI I swear to God. The only thing I wanted from a new gen was an HDMI port designed to actually be used
And they kept the same WiFi / Bluetooth chip, known for being completely unstable and recommended to be supplemented for almost any project
Still no m2 slot support? SD cards remind me of the 5400rpm HDD days.
Agreed. Seems like I am going to skip this generation or if I need a new Pi, buy a 4.
Personally I'm not sure yet. Sounds like its gotten a very much needed performance boost but those drawbacks are certainly disappointing.
Every post I’ve seen about this had people complaining about the things it didn’t have. Will it actually satisfy anyone?
Nice, but can you actually buy it?
Just like the current rpis, you won't be able to. But businesses will.
Rpi is a for maximum profit company now, it's not about supplying boards to hobbiests, it's about supplying boards to industry
Why the doom-and-gloom? Have you tried ordering any in the last several months?

I ordered 4x Pi 4 8GBs a few weeks ago for a Kubernetes cluster without any issue. The stock problem cleared up a few months ago.
I bought my first rpi 4 for like 30 eur, the second one I couldnt even buy.
No open sourced RISC-V processor? Not interested.
And courting Micro$oft...??
He's lost the plot
To quote a Linux tech writer:
"You literally cannot boot a raspberry pi zero, one, two, three or four without running ThreadX which is a Microsoft product.
"So whether the OS pings a repo or not is moot. The whole damn computer is run by a proprietary sealed Microsoft binary."
Can I just get the Pi3 and Pi4 variants readily and consistently available?
Lol, no.
Thirsty boy
Is it fast and furious too?
I assume still no real power management :-S
You can adjust the power usage now to either over clock the CPU or to supply USB devices.
