I'm really torn as to whether 'smaller than a credit card' (when something is clearly much, much larger than a credit card), or re-purposing a previously well understood and generally agreed upon definition of 'artificial intelligence' to now mean a frequently wrong or bewildered statistical / language model, annoys me the most.

Credit cards are bigger than you think. The CM5 is smaller (55mm x 40mm) than credit card (85mm x 54mm). You could almost get two on one credit card.

I always thought it was deceptive to compare regular Pi to credit card. But I just checked and credit card is almost the same size as regular Pi.

You're forgetting the third dimension, which comes in at 4.7mm. That indeed makes the CM5 much larger at multiple times the volume - if you want to be pedantic that is.

Is it? Too me it seems smaller both in width and depth, but the height seems some mm or more than a typical credit card.

I suspect that OP is describing the official IO Board which is a lot bigger than a credit card.

There are carriers that are smaller than a credit card such as the Ether Board and Wavlink BiCool mini board.
