cf. the Pi 4: 2–3X CPU performance, full 5Gbps USB 3.0 ports, a PCIe Gen2 x1 connector, dual 4-lane MIPI connectors, support for A2-class SD cards, an integrated RTC...
I do not know the specifics but a large issue with the 5 is that a lot of hardware acceleration for encoding and decoding video was removed, making it slower for anything to do with video.
Absolutely, but until I can get that easily in a battle harden Thinkpad design, I will probably still be using this. I aam not against upgrading at all, just haven't needed it yet. That said this last year, a lot of applications have finally grown to the point that I can see the horizon creeping closer.
Raspberry 5 is a dud, either go 4 or 3588 CM:

Or in a uConsole.
Also Risc-V tablet:

Not as battle hardened as my Thinkpad X61s but maybe we'll get a GPU driver soon... 3 years later...

A dud?? What's the issue? The price?
The performance per watt is only 1.5x so it's too hot.
3588 is waaaay more performant per watt, close to Apples M1.
The IO has been moved outside the SoC which causes alot of issues.
SD Card speeds are enough for client side use.

This too.
You can only stream 720p out at 20 FPS from my 2711 though, so it only seems to decode well = watching/consuming media. (the future is producing)
The 2712 can stream out 720p at 40 FPS. (CPU)
The 3588 can stream out 720p at 60+ FPS. (CPU)
Edit: HL2 runs at the "same" FPS on each (sometimes 300+ on 3588)...
Ah, yes, it's definitely a poor choice for most video-encoding and some video-decoding use-cases. Just not sure how GP goes from that to "dud"...
