    At least as far as my setup, yeah. Ive got 5th-10th gens, under high loads I’ll see a spike to 80+ watts, the highest is 170W but those have nvidia quadros in them.

    Edit: For gpio now I’ll just use an esp32 or something instead.

    My only pi usage these days is work stuff, and orangepi is supported there. In terms of arm, also Jetson, but that’s kind of outside the discussion here.

      Ok, but is that “high load” something that the rpi 5 is capable of handling? I don’t think so.

        I’d even say equivalent load - but again, I dont support the foundation, wouldn’t buy a 5 in the first place.

        I’d still say you’re better off with a t/m/m even with a few watts of savings.
