Oh, hell yeah. Preordered.
Where were you able to pre order from? I can’t find anywhere.
Just went down their posted reseller list by location: https://www.raspberrypi.com/resellers/
In the U.S., Sparkfun was already taking preorders. The others will probably get their own page up soon.
At 12W under load, it’s getting close to X86 processors in energy consumption.
12w? Explaining Computers did some stress testing and only pulled 6 but that was without stressing the GPU too

Availability has been improving recently, at least in my country (UK).
While the hardware specs are often more compelling, the problem I find with the Pi alternatives is they usually depend on custom images and kernels. Pi hardware may be less ideal but I feel more confident it will have lasting software support.

Was hoping for PoE without the need for a hat :p
get them passive filters they are great
That would have been a big improvement for homelab uses, but it’s probably considered a niche feature overall, hence the PoE Hat.
I’m wondering how it will work now they are pushing a dedicated cooler however. The PoE Hat has a little fan but doesn’t allow for heatsink. Perhaps there will be a new Pi5 PoE Hat.
EDIT: The PoE header on the Pi 5 has been moved, so a new PoE HAT will be required, but has not been announced yet.

every site i checked lists this at $65+ for the base model… is this even a Raspberry Pi at that point? 2x the performance for 2x the price isn’t actually much of a deal, and they stuck to the $35 MSRP so doggedly before (even if resellers tended to jack it up). their competitors must be breathing a sigh of relief.
Well makes sense it’s coming out during Halloween. Because their price points are getting pretty scary
i wish they’d make a verson with more ram!
8gb isn’t enough? What are you computing on it?
There will never be enough RAM or storage.
Orange Pi 5 and 5 plus got 16gb. Orange Pi 5 got even 32Gb.
It says 4 GB and 8 GB versions available at launch. Does that imply there’s a higher capacity version later on?

the current board only offers 1, 2, 4 and 8GB. They’ll likely release a 5B at some point with 16GB if needed.
Ngl I think they could do better on the CPU front. Competing boards offer the RK octa-core that matches the Big cores on the Pi but offers 4 extra Little cores. Though they seem to have better drivers here
It’s a strange beast, i feel like I’d like it as alow powered desktop substitute as it’s too powerful/draws roouch power to be used in place of a microcontroller. But it’s not got enough ram to act as a useful desktop either. Probably just my own usecase, but 16GB would be perfect
