Sounds awesome! but I have a few questions Can it support 128GB microSD and what's the largest size in GB it can support? Plus, can I run it using a 5V 2A power supply adapter for basic tasks?
Yes it will support pretty much any micro SD card you put in it - including up to over 1TB. The 5V 5A is important to ensure that it's running properly.
Just like @tobylegion6913 said, extra cooling is required and power consumption is higher (but still a lot lower than your usual desktop pc). The new case for Pi 5 will include a fan and there will also be the Active cooler which combines a heatsink and a fan. This will be the go to option if no case is required.
So, still no native support for booting off of SSD without a bunch of tricks instead of having to use the crappy MicroSD cards that fail all the time? The single biggest gripe I have heard about Rpi since day one was the reliance on those SD cards which have a terrible track record, and here we are at gen 5 and that still has not been addressed.

Does it need an extra cooler and how about the power consumption?
Cooler is highly recommended, else it throttles. And powerconsumption is higher, the raspi wallwart is 27W 5A.

I thought the RP1 is a 40nm chip? Either you or I misheard this since 14 and 40 sound very similar to each other.
As far as i know we got that wrong. It's actually a 16nm chip. Pi 1-3 and Zero 1 and 2 use 40 nm technology and Pi 4 is at 28nm.

I believe that USB boot was already enabled on the Pi 4 per default. We will have a look into how to set up SSD boot shortly.
Wenn man den deutschen Dialekt stärker wahrnimmt als die Aussagen .. trotzdem danke für den Versuch.
