I hope that idle power consumption will be better than RPi4.

Explaining Computers on YT did a power measurement…running wide open…it was pulling 6 watts…and was about 50-70% faster across the board on almost all benchmarking metrics

Looks like good start but many issues to resolve before Dietpi is stable for Pi 5… Please keep us informed!
