Oddbean new post about login | logout There's also a new Active Cooler and case with improved airflow and a much quieter PWM fan. These are both huge upgrades over what came before, and allow the BCM2712 to run forever without throttling. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/141/314/884/023/109/original/16702e600d650d8f.jpeg https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/141/315/180/331/151/original/078b88a31e115112.jpeg
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 https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/111/141/316/361/393/362/original/eb88bdafacd4a380.jpg
@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 they pretty much included everything I've been asking for. This may be the perfect Pi!
