From your link it seems to be 3x slower. It's not clear to me why this comparison is relevant.

I was wondering about the value proposition. But I guess it's a more like a dev / tinkering board then.

  • Yep, the Pi 5 is an ARM though and you have to license the architecture to use it. RISC-V is open source, but currently sucks in pretty much all aspects compared to any other. This is still way in the early dev and build support phase.

For integer workloads it seems closer to 60% of RPi 5 performance. There are some benchmarks that depend on vector support or dedicated CPU instructions for good results, and they skew the results.
