The Pi 3 has the same thermal throttling issue as the 4, and the 4's performance under throttled conditions is much higher.
Though IMO even calling it an issue is overblown, most phones and laptops cannot maintain their peak clocks under load for extended periods of time either. Intel calls it turbo boost so it's a feature instead of a bug.
- georgeecollins 7y agoReally? Because I run a Pi with a servo board on top that gets quite hot (too hot to touch) and it seems like CPU is performing time sensitive calculations (walking kinematics) adequately. It could be that the calculations are simple enough that they are insensitive to the throttling down. Do you have a suggestion how I could write some Python code to check if the 3 is throttling down? (Maybe a link to an example?) Maybe it wouldn't be an issue on the Pi 4 that I think it is. In that case I have been holding back on switching to a 4 for no good reason. This is very helpful, thank you.
