“If you are reading the reviews because you are on the fence about buying a Raspberry Pi 5, I would say just buy one!
There are a million and one applications for this SBC and you would be hard pushed to not find one that you can't get your teeth stuck into. It has only been available for a few short months and the community has already got a lot of things to work on it and it seems like every day there is something new to learn or try out.”
“Takes the single threaded CPU performance lead back from the Orange Pi 5 Plus.
SD performance about 50% up on Pi4.
Still gets hammered on disk IO by Orange Pi that has NVMe slot, and subjectively feels noticably slower when used interactively.”
