Performance looks comparable to an RK3588 system so (as always) it's largely going to come down to software support and other ecosystem effects.\nThe 4GB=$60, 8GB=$80 pricing isn't unreasonable. \nThe 1x PCI-E lane on FPC is cool and should enable some nice applications and less-shitty storage media. The dedicated connections for UART and fan are nice, as is keeping analog video on some pins for those who want it.\nHopefully they don't run into another supply chain choke.<\/div><figure>\n      <img alt=\"A photo showing the Raspberry Pi 5 with USB cables and a micro HDMI cable plugged in\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/VAyeDoqgsGiJV5h9EFo5JcJDAtg=\/0x12:3366x2256\/1310x873\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_image\/image\/72696265\/raspberry_pi_connected_2.0.jpg\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n        <figcaption>Photo by Emma Roth \/ The Verge<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n\n  <p>Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/12\/21\/23520400\/raspberry-pi-5-release-date-pandemic-supply-chain-constraints-delay-eben-upton-ceo\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">doubts that the Raspberry Pi 5<\/a> would launch this year, the latest version of the microcomputer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.com\/products\/raspberry-pi-5\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">has arrived<\/a> with some notable upgrades at a $60 starting price.
