Raspberry Pi 5 Announced!

My ordered from Pi Hut has arrived today, just getting a USB stick with Ubuntu onto it so that I can get a Plex server set up. Currently using my main desktop (Xeon) for that which uses a tad more electric.

Ah nice! I’ve not long had the pi 4!

Such a small package which packs a punch! May have to get the 5 now!
 
Yeah the official Pi5 case is fine for now, the standard Argon one I usually buy looks like it will be available soon.
Personally though I think the one Pi5 I have setup with my NAS, emby, etc will be fine in that case, in the long run I hope they release a Pi5 version of the Argon Neo NAS server case

Is there any chance of ordering soon and getting on sooner than months away? imagine i am too late.

I ordered two weeks ago, thinking I’d missed the boat and would get it some time in the new year. It’s arriving today.
 
Somehow went below my radar just how much faster this is than the Pi 4. Hope the Rapid stock checker is right and they are indeed in stock because I ordered one to play around with.

To put it into real terms, I run some amateur radio software on my Pi5 which includes a database lookup.

On the Pi4 with SD card, that lookup took 20 seconds.
I changed it so it was on an SSD and it reduced to 6 seconds.
On a Pi5 with the same SSD, that search now takes under 2 seconds.
 
I just love the support there is for the Pi's I've dabbled with other SBC's but invariably it seems you hit an issue with something and there's few other users out there to assist you!

AMD Radeon RX 460 reportedly runs Portal and Minecraft on Raspberry Pi 5 - VideoCardz.com

Radeon RX 460 works with Raspberry Pi 5 The latest version of Pi5 can already work with select discrete GPUs. The previous versions of this small ARM-based computer were unable to run discrete external GPUs for two reasons. The maximum bandwidth for the PCIe 2.0 interface was too limiting to use...

NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5

Add super-fast storage to your Raspberry Pi 5 allowing for lightning fast boots, NAS use, and snappy applications!

It also supports PCIe 3.0, I think Jeff Geerling got the Pi 5 working at those speeds with some basic tinkering.
