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)
- Although I feel similarly, unfortunately the people running the Raspberry Pi foundation decided to confusingly name the Pico as a "Raspberry Pi", even though the RP2040 is more technically a microcontroller, while the rest of the Raspberries are more technically general purpose computers.

- I actually like having it in the list because occasionally I want to decide if a PICO is good enough or even better (because benefits from programmed IO state machines) for a simple task or a ZERO is needed or better (for ethernet and full unix). Was actually signing up today because all Raspi Pi versions table was incomplete for PICO not showing any IO beyond "a UART" - no mentioning of 2nd UART, I2C, SPI, PWM, ADC, PIO and USB1.1 (however dedicated USB2 and USB3 columns exist). Although RP2040 page shows all details, being able to side-by-side compare PICO, ZERO and perhaps even compute module under Raspberry PI would be nice to have.

- Related: The "Series and generations" section starts with "There are three series of Raspberry Pi" and the rest of the paragraph only explains "Raspberry Pi SBCs" and "Raspberry Pi Pico". It could be clarified there that the 3 generations are the 3 sections following (Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pico) and the big-picture differences among the 3. As it is I am guessing that "Raspberry Pi SBCs" is meant to include the "Raspberry Pi" and "Raspberry Pi Zero" sections following... It's just confusing as it is currently written and I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor. Rick314 (talk) 04:14, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
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)
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?).
