If anyone was curious I have

If anyone was curious I have been running a bone stock Raspberry Pi 4 and a Raspberry Pi 5 just to see what the average performance difference is between the two.  I will be taking them down today but here are the numbers as they stand currently;  (No overclock, same MicroSD storage, same OS, both running in a headless configuration with RealVNC service running.)

 

Pi 4 is showing a recent average of approximately 800 credits while the Pi 5 is showing approximately 1200.  Not much credit, but it does highlight the fact that the Pi 5 is significantly faster than the 4.

Raspberry Pi 4 RAC = 814

Raspberry Pi 5 RAC = 1238

Are you going to tweak them to try and get better performance out of them or something else?

No, I'm going to put them on some other projects as soon as they finish their work que...

So I just got back to

So I just got back to crunching recently and found this thread.  I also have an Orange Pi 5 to play with.  Guess I'll give it a go for science, and not just the research we're doing.  Let's see what this little Rockchip 3588 can do.

Great!  I'd love to see what that thing can do, I had been looking at that one as well.  I would guess it will do better than the Pi-5 with those additional cores....

That's my guess as well. 

That's my guess as well.  Part of why I got it.  While I love the idea of the Rapi, I wanted to see how far such a platform/idea could be pushed.  Prolly like most of us.

So my pie has started to

So my pie has started to bake.  Results have started to show: results

It indeed looks to be doing more work than the Rapi.  I ordered better cooling, as my pi is cookin at this point and I'm wondering if it would do the work even faster with proper cooling for this heavy a workload.

Both my Pi 4 and 5 ran 3 tasks at 55c to 60c.  I have forgotten how hot they will get before they start to throttle but I recall it is somewhere north of 70c.

Mine: RPi 4 RAC ≈

Mine:

RPi 4 RAC ≈ 1200

RPi 5 RAC ≈ 1750 (≈ 1.45 times faster)

Both have ICE towers to keep the CPU cool. At 100% load: 4 = 41°C/106°F and the 5 = 58°C/136°F.

I run Einstein, Universe, and WCG, lately only Einstein has tasks.

I tried overclocking the 5 to 3000 MHz but it hung. I've since gotten an official RPi power supply and will try again JIC it was the cheap supply I could buy asap when I got the 5 (it meets the power specs).

I run the SiDock short tasks with my 3 R-Pi 4's.
