What’s as fast as two Raspberry Pi 4s? The brand-new Raspberry Pi 5, that’s what. And for only a $5 upcharge (with an asterisk), it’s going to the new go-to board from the British House of Fruity S…
I disagree. The pi series are never going to do any serious heavy lifting in terms of computation, their niche is lightweight hardware that allows you to decentralise systems. Making a more powerful system at a higher price point isn’t really useful in that case.
I would rather have two less powerful machines that i can install in separate modules to control separate systems, than one centralised machine that’s still not powerful enough to do everything on it’s own. Plus, you get double the GPIO pins if you use two boards.
