The Raspberry Pi 5 has been announced and looks likely to be about 3X faster for our purposes. We should probably see around 1.5Gbytecode/sec and 130million sends/sec, for example. It also includes a PCIE connector that will support (with a HAT) M2 type SSDs, so storage should be much faster.
Cool. What version of ARMv8 is it? Is it exactly the same as the pi4 ISA (v1 IIRC) or l;ater?
I don't know about but I find the idea that we can get tiny computers for ~$80 with 8Gb ram and so on quite mind-boggling. That's about ¼ the cost of my first mouse...
indeed !!
