That is due to power reasons ,but they could have just underclocked it by default.

I don't buy it. USBC can deliver quite a lot of power

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I agree. Pi5 apparently uses 5v@5A max, which is outside the usbc-pd specs. Not sure why they didnt go for usbc-9v in and use onboard components to convert the power to something lower for cpu ( which i assume it already does from 5v )

Maybe those packages are bulky or something.

[–] Manzas@lemdro.id 1 points 5 months ago

Wait is it locked to the official charger?

[–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What is the power reason if i may ask?

[–] Manzas@lemdro.id 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I dunno maybe cpu? Really it is actually stupid why didn't they just make it optional.
