What would you like to see tested on the Raspberry Pi 4?

We have a couple of these in the office that we can run software / test some things on - so what would you like to see tested on the hardware that would help to swing the decision for you as to whether or not it's worth it?

I've seen a few questions about Sega Rally running on MAME, questions about h264 encoding, realtime transcoding - for some of these I'd have to find the software/setup but it's certainly do-able.

So let me know, what do you want to see tested on the Pi 4?

Does the CPU start throttling when I run a CPU-intensive task? (say "yes > /dev/null & yes > /dev/null & yes > /dev/null & yes > /dev/null &" )

rew , it'll start throttling when the CPU hits 80-83 degC after about 4 minutes at 22-23degC room temperature.

I thought that there was some kind of tool on the Raspi to show cpu temperature, but i can't find it on my Pi 4. Was i mistaken? If not, can you tell me where to find it?

Your suggestion worked just fine, Christopher, but what i was really looking for was the CPU temperature widget. I found out that it is very easy to access in Buster:
Right click on taskbar --> Add/Remove Panel Items --> [Add]
Select [Temp Monitor] --> [Add]

Hi Raymond,

The widget is still available, I think it's a right-click on the top bar, and then via an option. Or it was in the normal top-left menu. I did manage to get the widget displayed last week, using one of those two methods, so I know it can be done, I just cannot recall the precise steps (I don't have access to my Pi 4 currently to check).

Hmmm, don't understand your response to my post. What i wrote was that i was really after the widget which shows the CPU temperature and that i had discovered how to get it. My post included instructions on how to get the widget. The instructions i included in my post was tested and verified by me on the Buster version of Raspian. I posted this information in case there were others who were also interested in using the widget but did not know how to access it (or if one even existed). My post was not a request for information - it was an attempt to supply information for others who may be interested.

Sorry, I didn't read your entire post. I only read your first sentence.
