Raspberry Pi expert and YouTuber Jeff Geerling, along with reverse engineer John McMaster have delidded the recently released 2GB model of the Raspberry Pi 5 and given us a glimpse into the chip structure that lies underneath the integrated heat spreader (IHS), a glimpse that includes "dark silicon" and lower power consumption.
Pi 5 2GB model is $50, has 'D0' chip stepping with 'dark silicon' (unused parts of BCM2712 chip) removed.I bought a few, and delidded one: pic.twitter.com/n1tQuyf1ghAugust 26, 2024
