Not bumping the PCIe lanes to 4-8 is disappointing. So is now requiring active cooling, not using USB-C for the USB3 ports, and PoE being unusable without a hat.
It’s probably time to add a higher end “pro” line to let the “education” line focus on power efficiency, tiny form factors, and low cost.
Also, did they fire the cop they hired?
You're demanding a bunch more high performance connectivity - which means high performance silicon to run all those lanes - and complaining about the active cooling in the same post.
Did you read the second sentence? RPi needs to pick a lane, or have two targeted product lines.
For example, the MacBook Air is fanless with a lot more IO, and the Thinkpad X13s is also fanless with a lot more IO.
They are obviously not direct competitors, but they are examples of hi performance Arm silicon on the market.
The RPi is still kind of crappy, but it now requires active cooling. Crappy without a need for active cooling that’s more forgivable.
And for this reason the perscribed they split the product into two SKUs
The 4 already supposedly needed cooling
Just a decent heatsink
