I based my costs on having a cased system which supports Wi-Fi and can run without throttling, includes an official PSU and one monitor lead. I was under the impression that the CM108000 was $85, but accept there may be discrepancies throughout, particularly between what official resellers sell at and what any Raspberry Pi RRP may be - Unfortunately there's no official consolidated list of RRP for all products.They're not. The the CM108000, the closest CM5 to a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB (i.e. includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, has no eMMC storage) is $80 RRP.If those numbers are all correct (I haven't checked) could someone at RPL explain why the CM5 is so much more expensive than the others ?
My cost calculation break-downs are, exchange rate of $1.00 to £0.78, including VAT at 20%, CM5 Lite with Wi-Fi corrected to $80 -
