From Canon Europe's website:
Firmware updates for the EOS R6 are also currently in development, including the fixes found in EOS R5 version 1.1.0 firmware.
See https://www.canon-europe.com/press-...anon-announces-eos-r5-firmware-version-1-1-0/

It may not have enough processing power. Despite popular opinion, not everything is possible with just a few lines of code, but data rates for all processing jobs have to be considered and if there is a dedicated ASIC for focus system the R still might not have what is needed. The R uses Digic 8 and DPAF , while R5/6 use Digic X processor that is at least 4 times faster and have DPAF 2.I don't suppose there are any rumours to update the EOS R firmware with animal AF?

It does in a way, but not that much. There is no impact on sharpness, but the higher compression means some information is being averaged out over areas.
Take the latest A73s which shoots 4k120 in 280mbits/s and it looks great. On the R5 side shooting 4k120 it's around 1800 mbits/s which is an insane amount of data. In theory, the r5 image should be 5 times better, but it isn't.
Higher bitrates allow for more pushing (color grading) in the post before introducing artifacts. But these higher bitrates are nowhere near having the same impact in image quality or even on the latitude for color grading as have resolution and bit depth + chroma subsampling. Both cameras shoot similar 4k and in 10 bit with 422 subsampling. So quality of image is basically the same. The sony has even an edge because of the dynamic range. When Canon adds clog 3, both cameras will have basically the same dynamic range too. At that point, the only thing that will seperate those cameras will be color science. By the way, lower bitrates should extend overheating times if not entirely eliminate them.

You have no idea. I can’t breathe.LOL Canon!!! You're giving Canon-Sony-Canon-Sony switchers heart attacks

I highly doubt that. The R5, with 8k recording is being pounded more than the R6, so that has to come first.

Different sensor and chip. Less dynamic range and more noise. It’s very possible, if not likely, that it can’t manage it.

No actually I was thinking about the "confirmed by Canon" future update to EOS R5 from the original CR posting. Post has no source mentioned, and I haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere. But a later comment gave the answer (plus also promise of update to EOS R6 too) :
In addition to the EOS R5 firmware version 1.1.0, Canon is already working on further future updates in response to feedback about the EOS-1D X Mark III and EOS R5. Canon plans to introduce the following video recording functions via a series of future firmware updates for those models.
EOS-1D X Mark III
- Canon Log 3 option
- Lower bit rate option for 5.5K RAW video recording
- Lower bit rate option for all the IPB video recording modes
- Canon Log 3 option
- Lower bit rate option for 8K RAW video recording
- Lower bit rate option for all the IPB video recording modes
- Adding 119.88 fps option for Full HD (1080p) recording

Just a second.... Does Clog3 mean that the R5 is going to have equal dynamic range as the A7SIII for video ?
Sorry of that's a stupid question...

Have you ever designed a product and had to get it to market? Not everything can always get done by the market release date. Especially in a year with a pandemic where many things are an extra challenge.
