You can't reduce power usage by 185%, the most you can reduce anything by is 100%, which means completely eliminating it. Do they not teach basic maths nowadays?

I wish you'd devote a few lines to explaining **how** the new Pi5 charger works. RPi quotes it as delivering 5V & 5A, but that *seems* unlikely given available wire AWG for USB-C's ability to deliver higher voltages. Is it possible that RPi.com folks are delivering something greater than 5V at the end of their cable & their spec for 5V/5A is what's coming from the onboard PMIC?

That's 99%, not 185%.

Clickbait.

That's 99%, not 185%.

Clickbait.

It's ~96% on RPi 5 and ~93% on RPi 4. I have no idea how they came up with 185%.
