|---|---|---|
| jacobk | For a comparison, I ran `7z b` and glmark2-es2 on my Nintendo Switch running Ubuntu 18.04 at "Max CPU" settings (which just means 1.785GHz CPU clock rate I think). Here are the logs if anyone's curious: <https://bpa.st/DFHQ> and <https://bpa.st/EMFA> | 02:25 |
| jacobk | The Switch felt slower to me than my 2013 laptop running Trisquel, but that may be partially because Trisquel uses MATE and Ubuntu uses GNOME, and I used to use my Switch with the default clock speed (~1GHz IIRC), but it's stuck on Max CPU now. | 02:25 |
| jacobk | It seems that the biggest difference between the Pocket Reform, the Switch, and my current laptop is compression speed; decompression speed doesn't differ that much. | 02:43 |
| jacobk | ooh, found a cool site: <https://openbenchmarking.org/test/pts/compress-7zip&search> | 02:45 |
| jacobk | Looks like all 3 devices are around the 8th percentile | 02:47 |
| jacobk | oh, oops, I might have misread that | 02:48 |
| jacobk | For compression: 2013 Asus has 6738 MIPS (8th percentile), Pocket Reform has 3508 MIPS (4th percentile), Switch has 4691 MIPS (6th percentile) | 02:54 |
| jacobk | For decompression: 2013 Asus has 6530 MIPS (10th percentile), Pocket Reform has 7249 MIPS (12th percentile), Switch has 6647 MIPS (10th percentile) | 02:54 |

| jacobk | New numbers are 2747 for compression (2nd percentile) and 3750 for decompression (2nd percentile), so, good to know that the Pocket Reform should do better than the Switch at default clock speed. | 03:31 |

| noam | Would be kinda nice if we could set the voltage to consider 0% in the firmware | 18:37 |
| noam | I'd probably set mine closer to 3V to be honest, I find it encourages healthier usage habits anyways | 18:37 |
| pandora[m] | wouldn't really recommend that either | 18:53 |
| pandora[m] | 3V is dead dead more or less | 18:53 |
| pandora[m] | and if u discharge the battery slowly (low current) u get a big voltage drop at "the end" | 18:54 |
| pandora[m] | the end is more surprising | 18:54 |
| pandora[m] | if u discharge the batteries with high currents u get a bigger drop at the beginning but the end more gradually | 18:55 |
| pandora[m] | but idk what the power consumption is for the mnt | 18:56 |
| vkoskiv | 321mA at 26V, so roughly 8.3 watts. Full brightness on kbd and display. | 19:59 |
| pandora[m] | oh ... the battery pack is 26V? all in series? | 20:00 |

| unixpoet | that 8GB RAM is quite attractive, for example | 22:55 |
| unixpoet | I've been using a RockPro64 as my main workstation the past few weeks and the only place it really struggles is RAM. I ordered a Reform myself and chose the LS1028A specifically to have more RAM | 22:57 |
| josch | then we are both waiting for the ls1028a :) | 22:58 |
| unixpoet | yep. to be fair, I have no idea about the industrial availability of the CM5, so I don't know if it's feasible to offer it as a bundle, but am still curious | 22:59 |
| unixpoet | that said, I do have a BPI R3 running my wifi and it's a surprisingly stable (and fast!) board, so I have confidence that the CM4/CM5 are solid too | 23:00 |
