The Compute Module 5 is mechanically compatible with its predecessors.

Yes! Well done!

"...some 70% to 80% of Raspberry Pi units are going into industrial and embedded applications."

We all know who raspi are loyal to. And it isn't enthusiasts, or education.

Wish they would release a version without the IO module, exposing those PCIe lanes directly. It would make a really nice home made NAS server with a couple of NVMe drives attached.

Its huge success that at home you can use whatever industry is using. It means it is not a toy but a very good tool - and hey - you can buy it for less than 100$ and not 2000$ like most of the industrial things.

That wouldn't make sense. The RP1 chipset provides most of the peripherals, like USB, Ethernet, eMMC controller and more.

And there's better hardware for that already, like RK3588 with PCIe 3x4 and all the other I/O integrated, you don't have to pick between the two.

Why would an industrial compute module need built-in wifi?

This reads like trolling TBH.

Do you TROLL around here very often?

Because that is what it is
