Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Pi5-16GB performance issue with NVME data disk

I view mem=8G not speeding things up as a good thing, since one is looking for a solution allowing use of all 16GB of RAM.

Following the thread

viewtopic.php?p=2285726#p2285726

I wonder if changing the EEPROM from default to the latest would make a difference.

Really appreciate your insights on this. I run Latest by default:

Code:

ypw/ssdy/work$ sudo rpi-eeprom-update BOOTLOADER: up to date   CURRENT: Wed Jan  8 05:52:48 PM UTC 2025 (1736358768)    LATEST: Wed Jan  8 05:52:48 PM UTC 2025 (1736358768)   RELEASE: stable (/lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader-2712/stable)            Use raspi-config to change the release.

Though the problem is with NVMe do your 16GB and 8GB models have different performance for GeekBench 5 and 6?

Also, there may be a typo in date of the EEPROM version reported in that thread. If so, then Jan 13 is more recent than Jan 8.
