Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Launches As Newer, Faster $10 Single Board Computer

Temp is 38.6C while doing nothing but htop. No heatsink yet.

Stable? Because my Pi 3B + heatsink idles at > 50 C, in headless mode. I think yours won't stay at 38.6, if it's in a room temperature environment.

Just checked again since you asked. 39.7C after ~3 hours of just sitting there. It is in normal room temp environment. Oh, and headless running the 32bit PI OS Lite.

I also for kicks, checked one of my RPI4s that is running a PDP11/70 front panel which is enclosed inside that front panel enclosure. Without running simh, it has been sitting at 47.7C . Running simh and the simple blinking lights program, it pops up to ~52C. It does have a heat sink, no active cooling.

Thanks for the update! My Pi 3B (original version) was running the Pi OS 64-bit Beta version that was current as of about 4-5 months ago.

Good to know.
