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 5 lone link

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)[reply]

There's some discussion at Talk:Raspberry_Pi_4#Article_Notability. I tend to agree that we don't want to fill this article with details about each version. An open question is whether individual versions meet notability requirements for stand-alone articles. ~Kvng (talk) 16:33, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading information about pinout in the comparison table

Hi, while adding Pico 2 W to the table, I've noticed that the pin number column is labeled "GPIO". This is misleading, since not all of the 40 pins are general-purpose (GPIO). On Pico, there are only 30 GPIO, with only 26 exposed (others are internal); the remaining 14 exposed pins are not general purpose – 7 are ground pins, 1 pin, RUN, can be used to reset the controller and the remaining pins are for power without USB. The problem also spans to the mainline Raspberry Pi models. I would normally just correct the table, but I'm not sure which numbers are worth including (maybe change the column name to something like "pinout" and add the GPIO count in brackets?).

Education section

The first paragraph of the "education" section, beginning "As of January 2012...", seems to be based on speculative reporting from 2012 about the possible future adoption of the Raspberry Pi by schools. Perhaps this could be updated, at least in style? For example, changing "As of January 2012, enquiries about the board in the United Kingdom have been received from schools..." to "By January 2012, enquiries about the board in the United Kingdom had been received from schools..." 140.228.83.128 (talk) 08:56, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
