We got a new Raspberry Pi last week. The 5th iteration of the little British computer is very similar to the previous one, but with upgraded specs that make it more competitive in the single board computer market. Notable changes are the inclusion of a proper PCIe port (albeit PCIe 2.0 x1 via a weird FPC connector, M.2 hat coming soon), 5V/5A USB-C PD support, a real-time clock (!), dedicated fan connector & heatsink mounting points for an official active cooler, microSD slot with SDR104 support, dual simultaneous 4K 60Hz output and a power button. Of course, Jeff Geerling got one early and has given his opinions. Tom's Hardware has some benchmarks too. Core Electronics has the 4GB and 8GB RAM versions advertised for $103/$137.50, but not sure about stock levels and exact shipping times besides some time in October.
