@cyclical_obsessive Nice work! I also did a benchmark of Pi 5, but in crunching BOINC tasks, and in my case, the new Pi was around 3 times faster. I summarized everything on my blog.

@stfn I saw your great BOINC tests. I have had a lowly Pi3B running Einstein for so long I don't remember when - completed 312,733 packets so far.

@cyclical_obsessive Thanks! I'm intrigued by your case. Is that an 18650 working as a UPS?

@stfn yes - Got it from these folks in 2017:

@cyclical_obsessive Cool! The Pi 4 version is a bit expensive, though, but I'll bookmark it, maybe one day I'll buy one

@stfn Too many "DeskPi"s now to be worried about power failure killing one, but back then it was pretty dear to me. I had one in my robot and the one on my desk hoping they would not fail.
