They said they expected to ship a million units by the end of the year.
I don't think PiHole is very demanding. I have it running on a Pi 1. Hardware hasn't given out yet. A Pi 5 just to run PiHole seems like overkill, but would probably set you up for a good long run with it.
I sold my pi 3 and the person said it didn’t output hdmi correctly. The picture they sent showed it wasn’t correct though it works fine with an adapter from the hdmi. I don’t know why I’m writing this but when I write things down I read them aloud in my head and I just love hearing myself speak.
Could it run say an arma server?
No, not enough ghz in the pi 4 but the pi 5 has the minimum required for arma's dedicated server but you lose some performance when doing the emulation of x86 or x86-64 to arm.
Ah thank you.
You know that sounds like what happened to mine. Video output stopped working so I shit canned it. I probably could have fixed it.
Not it's not demanding however I intend to also run some HAM Radio stuff on it. Like a DMR Hotspot, maybe some logging software, maybe setup a web SDR server so people can tune in to listen to shortwave and other Ham Radio operators chat it up late into the night.
The Pi zero 2 w is a fantastic hotspot device with a mmdvm hat. I use mine for fusion though and an open spot 4 for fusion and dstar interoperability with my yaesu and icom/kenwood stuff.
It's also pretty easy to cram inside most 3D printer's chassis so it can function as an integrated Octoprint server
Yeah, I wanted to upgrade my 3B, but the 4s you could find on Amazon were like $180, so I got a Rock 5B, which is more powerful than the Pi 5. Costs quite a bit more than a Pi 4 or 5 *should*, though.
By that you mean, preorder or something?
It is amazing, I remember when 1MB of RAM in 1990 was $400.
I'm well aware, I was talking about quantity not speed, as obviously the PS4 was more powerful than a Pi 4 is now, even back in 2013.
Apparently you don't remember how much of an increase between the PS3 and PS4 were in RAM, which was the PS3's biggest bottleneck, especially by 2013.
in real life benchmark the Pi-4 seem to have maxed out at 4.x GB/s, it was a 32 bits bus doing less than its theorical max speed.
Yup, a big reason why the 2012/13 jump to now in quantity do not feel impressive, the jump for the console was spectacular, but 8gb of ram for a system in 2013 was very little, 18GB+was quite common, they are unexpensive machine.
I stand corrected on that one, I thought I had read that it was much greater, but nope.
8GB RAM was very common for average gaming desktops at the time, so I wouldn't say it was very little unlike these days where 8GB actually is very little.
