For all of us bitter people who couldn't get an RPi 3 let alone 4 for less than a fortune during the recent dark times...

We’d like to thank you: we’re going to ringfence all of the Raspberry Pi 5s we sell until at least the end of the year for single-unit sales to individuals, so you get the first bite of the cherry.

So I will probably preorder one because why not.

Will it handle all features of Plex? Like streaming high def and using all plexamp features?

Am I correct in saying this Pi5 will be the best chance at a very performant desktop PC? That seems very much where they were headed with all these designs.

I have no idea (yet) what I'll do when I buy one.

I wonder if they can finally run on fully open source firmware.

I wonder if the will make a Pi 500 the all in one form factor is so convenient when traveling

I think it was a mistake to remove hardware video encoding. Even the hw encoder for H264 1080p 30fps was better than no encoder. Apparently they think sw encoding can replace it..yeah.. the cpu is more powerful, but not that much more. I think intels N100 processors will be more competitive for applications involving video/webcam

Oh cool, been waiting for this announcement. Nice.
