Hi, I've been testing the RPi5 for a few weeks and have written up my results and benchmarks on Twitter.

This is so much quicker for clusters, servers and headless use, that I don't think I'd consider buying any more RPi4s myself.

Good, then the price of second hand RPi4 will go down as it has been ridiculously expensive (even though I'm settled, still makes me happy for other people).

I'll wait for a CM module before I consider to replace my CM4 fleet, but for now I am happy with my CM4 as it is. Although I admit the ability for native NVMe is attractive. Better I/O as well!

Also, the RPi5 needs a better PSU so that is one thing to take into account.

For people for whom a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 is good enough, they should opt for that instead. They're widely available and no longer ridiculous prices.

I've published a blog post now, with a bit more info and links to other content on the RPi 5 - https://blog.alexellis.io/first-impressions-with-the-raspber...

Are those results available anywhere else?

My thought as well. I can only see one tweet, no replies. I'm guessing it's a thread, and you need to have an account to read the replies?

Replace x.com or twitter.com with nitter.net ie.

I've posted separately some test data: https://github.com/geerlingguy/sbc-reviews/issues/21
