It’s nice they doubled the speed of SD controller but I still wish they just gave us some eMMC for the system.

- moffkalast 3y agoIt's also nice that they tripled the overall performance, but it would've been cool if there was a non-sketchy way to power the thing.
- 404mm 3y agoI know it may sound silly but the need for active cooling is a deal breaker to me. I’m still hoping to see some massive heat sink or a metal case that acts as a heat sink. But the overall Pi evolution leads towards hotter, louder and more expensive, which there are better options where you get more flops per buck.
- geerlingguy 3y agoIt's not a need, per-se. running a small service on it that only uses 10-20% CPU and just bursts now and then, I don't see it throttling. It's only running benchmarks or activity that uses one or two cores 100% all the time that runs into throttling (and even throttled, performance is a good deal better than Pi 4 unthrottled).
- undersuit 3y agoThere's the RaspiKey, an eMMC module on a microSD card breakout board. Or the Compute Module which can be even more compact than the standard Pi format.
