 I tested a TON of stuff on these boards, most especially the new PCI Express connector on the #RaspberryPi 5—check out my #Pi5 blog post for more on that! https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/testing-pcie-on-raspberry-pi-5

 @3ddab33a That’s looking *very* thorough, with one exception: energy efficiency/power consumption are not covered 🤓😅

(That’s the first thing I want to know for 24/7 candidate devices.) 
 @66bd66f8 I do have a bit in the video, I didn't go in depth in the blog post (lack of time, ugh!). It's 1.8W idle with the official PSU. Sometimes more if you use a 3A PSU instead, which is counterintuitive... but what I measured. 
 @3ddab33a I'm a bit curious how it compares to the really soon coming Turing RK-1. Any chance you have any to compare? 
 @6a5fe6b6 I hope to... ordered RK1 to test.
