The Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest flagship single-board computer (SBC) from the Raspberry Pi series, delivering a 2-3x performance boost over its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 4. Powered by the BCM2712 processor and a 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU , it features Raspberry Pi’s in-house RP1 I/O controller, making it the first Raspberry Pi computer to incorporate custom-designed silicon for enhanced connectivity and efficiency.
With improved graphics, faster memory, and enhanced peripheral support, the Raspberry Pi 5 is perfect for DIY projects, home automation, IoT applications, edge computing, and AI development.
Key Features of Raspberry Pi 5:
- High-Speed Performance – 2.4GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, 512KB per-core L2 cache, and 2MB shared L3 cache.
- Powerful Graphics – VideoCore VII GPU (800MHz), supporting OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 for enhanced visual performance.
- Dual 4K Display Support – Dual HDMI output (4Kp60) and 4Kp60 HEVC decoder for high-resolution video playback.
- Flexible Memory Options – 4GB/8GB LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM for improved multitasking and performance.
- Enhanced Connectivity – Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz), Bluetooth 5.0 / BLE, and Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ support (PoE+ HAT required).
- Expanded Peripheral Support – 2× USB 3.0 ports (5Gbps), PCIe 2.0 x1 interface (M.2 HAT/adapter required), and dual 4-lane MIPI DSI/CSI ports for display and camera modules.
- Reliable Storage & Power – TF card slot with SDR104 mode, 5V/5A USB-C power input with Power Delivery, and an onboard power button.
- 40-Pin GPIO Header – Standard Raspberry Pi GPIO for extensive expandability.
