Pi is not particularly “power sipping” either. Not every usb brick is capable of powering today’s Pi’s, which indicates peak power draw of over 5W.

- int_19h 2y agoCompared to Intel it still is - a 5V/3A brick is sufficient for all Pis, with Intel if you have USB power it's usually higher-voltage USB-C.
- pmlnr 2y agoNo, they aren't. You need 5.1 or 5.2v, otherwise you get stability issues. Learnt that the hard way.
- blipvert 2y agoThen why buy a Pi5 if you don’t have the juice? I can get a 1GB Pi3 model B shipped to my door for £27 which will run off of any mobile phone charger from the last five years (heck, I just plug mine directly into the USB socket built into the wall outlet) and connect it to any TV from the last ten years with a £2 HDMI cable. Cut your cloth.
