raspberry pi has terrible power management as well. turning off a core was impossible on previous generations for example. a few years ago rpi was the worst of all sbcs we measured for battery powered usages. this was for an actual embedded product so it wasn’t going to be used either way (ask broadcom for some chips HAHA)

but there is very little reason to use a rpi over other sbcs if you have a remote idea what you’re doing beyond hobby use
