openpnp on raspberrypi 5 or intel i5 4th gen?

[Shaheer Shah]

I am building a new openpnp setup with my own custom designed machine. What i am trying to figure out is whether to run openpnp on pi5 8gb ram or a lenovo thin client which has intel i5 4th gen with 8gb of ram? I would prefer pi5 due to its small size but performance is the key factor here. I plan to upgrade my machine to get the maximum possible speed i can get out of it. 

considering that has anyone run it on pi5?

I have all 4th generation Intel i5.

Well, I suppose it will depend on how fast your machine is/gonna be. If it is a slow machine, maybe a Pi5 will not be the bottleneck. I have an ongoing project machine, which is slow in it self, where I have tested Pi5 4GB(if memory serves me right), using two MIPI cameras for top/bottom vision. The UI was a bit sluggish, and I have yet to learn how well vision is working. The project is parked due to other stuff... But it is nice to have such a small setup. :-)

I'd say, given you intend to work for speed, you should skip using a Pi as a first step, and go for a typical computer instead. That way, the upgrades are easier.
