== Wrong numbers? ==


The articles currently says:

''In the highest ("turbo") preset the SDRAM clock was originally 500 MHz, but this was later changed from to 600 Mhz because 500 MHZ sometimes causes SD card corruption. Simultaneously in "High" mode the core clock speed was lowered from 450 to 250 MHz.''


What is the source of the GFLOP values in the Simplified Model B Changelog table? I would suggest that this should be cited.
Higher clock speed because lower causes corruption? "changed from to"? A drop almost 50%? Could someone please check these numbers? --] (]) 12:50, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


== Raspberry Pi Pico in the Comparison Chart ==
== Disputed info from 121.72.118.83 on USB power and Memory clock ==


Should the Raspberry Pi Pico really be compared with the other Raspberry Pis?
I found which seems to be disputed because the reference is a forum thread. But I still find it useful. So it's here it is should anyone need it:


The Raspberry Pi Pico is really different from the rest of the Raspberry Pis, and is much more like a microcontroller than the others. I'm not sure if comparing them in the same chart makes sense (and I believe that chart is already too long). ] (]) 03:24, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
:# Originally the on-board USB ports were designed for USB devices using one "unit load" (100 mA) of current. Devices using more than 100&nbsp;mA were incompatible with the Raspberry Pi, and for them a ] was required. However, due to user feedback, the RPF, at the end of August 2012, decided to remove the USB ]s which largely caused this behaviour. However, the maximum current that can be delivered to a USB port on these modified boards is still limited by the capabilities of the power supply used, and the 1.1&nbsp;A main polyfuse. Spontaneous rebooting and/or crashing caused by hot plugging certain USB devices was introduced as a result of this change, which further reduced the standards compliance of the Raspberry Pi's USB implementation.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5830 |title=Design flaw?

Alex Bradbury (asb) is the author of raspi-config and as you can see from the link I gave the overclocking settings were different when they were first introduced than they are now. They were added on 17 September 2012 and changed on 28 October 2012. This link shows that the reason for the change is due to SD card corruption, which is exactly what I said: https://github.com/asb/raspi-config/commit/a7a7b12ad0c0bf7e7fe9e1eadc4b35887230f2fb Somebody should add that to the article. I will eventually do that if nobody else can be bothered and would rather delete useful and relevant information instead.

: the sources used to support this edit say nothing about "apparently due to bugs in the BCM2835 SoC", so that is a non supported non NPOV remark. This is simply a case of tweaking overclocking settings after many more systems were tested since first release. Also the two tables are almost identical so what I did was contracting it to just the differences, but it seems that user 121.72.118.83 isn't content with that, he wants nothing less than maximum exposure. He seems to be the sock puppet of the poster that was responsible for a three month lockdown of the article, (user:121.74.158.215) because of similar behavior three months ago. Can't believe we are back to where we were three months ago! He is one stubborn guy! ] (]) 12:53, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

There is a reason why the IP cannot come up with a reliable source for his USB claims. Protecting USB posts with polyfuses is a common practice which doesn't even come close to being notable.

GFLOPs in Simplified Model B Changelog

What is the source of the GFLOP values in the Simplified Model B Changelog table? I would suggest that this should be cited.

Raspberry Pi Pico in the Comparison Chart

Should the Raspberry Pi Pico really be compared with the other Raspberry Pis?

The Raspberry Pi Pico is really different from the rest of the Raspberry Pis, and is much more like a microcontroller than the others. I'm not sure if comparing them in the same chart makes sense (and I believe that chart is already too long). Stevenruidigao (talk) 03:24, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Too confusing to read on mobile

Having the (growing) list of models summerized in one giant table is really inaccessible especially on mobile. Horizontal scrolling to reference a particular cell relies upon remembering the vertical and horizontal headers which are out of view once you reach the cell.

The thing that confuses me is that the RPi 4 has its own link but not the 5. SnappyRiffs (talk) 14:58, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
