After Raspberry Pi expert Jeff Geerling released his findings about delidding the 2GB Raspberry Pi 5, the YouTuber persisted in his adventure to properly benchmark the SBC with its new D0 stepping. Despite learning that Geekbench needed more than 2GB of memory, Geerling wasn’t ready to give up. He succeeded, confirming the 2GB SBC performs much the same as the other, more memory-gifted variants.
Geerling followed two routes to check the benchmarks for the 2GB Raspberry Pi 5’s BCM2712D0 chip. He ran the open-source tool sys bench, which is less memory-intensive than the Geekbench 6 suite of tools. He also ran Geekbench 6 with a larger swap size, and was able to complete the tests.
