Expected support for Home Assistant OS on the Raspberry Pi 5

As stated before in a quote it looks like the raspberry pi trading ltd rushed indeed releasing this board. Every day passing this 16nm lithography design (introduced 2016 - so 7 years old) it’s collecting dust. :man_shrugging:

As a side note a RK3588(S) comes with a NPU integrated with 6 TOPS (50% more than a coral NPU) :muscle:

The Orange Pi 5 Plus even features 2xPCIe and 2.5G LAN :rocket:

The Price for a (available) Orange Pi 5 VS a (not available) Raspberry Pi 5 looks like to be in the same ball park while the later offers much less (CPU,GPU,NPU,Storage) :no_entry_sign::strawberry:

And the “new” VideoCore 7 GPU from the Raspberry Pi 5 looks like a joke based on the limited information available

It looks like to have 12 (:warning:) times lower performance than the Mali G610 found in the two year older RK3588 based SBC’s like the Orange Pi 5 :astonished:

Graphics card ARM Mali-G610 MP4 Broadcom VideoCore VII
Market (main) Desktop Desktop
Release date Q2 2021 Q3 2023
Performance FP32 (float) 610.6 GFLOPS 51.2 GFLOPS

Looks like the Raspberry 5 is easy 2 years late for the show :tada:
