Raspberry Pi 5 RPI5 2/4/8 GB

Details

New generation of Raspberry Pi 5 beyonds the pinnacle of the Raspberry Pi 4, this is the latest addition to the Raspberry Pi family of computers. The new CPU is 2-3 times more powerful, the GPU has been significantly upgraded, and the camera, display, and USB interfaces have all been improved. The interface innovation is made possible by Raspberry Pi's own RP1 I/O control chip, the first time a Raspberry Pi chip has been used in a flagship product !Due to popular demand, Raspberry Pi 5 includes two new features to help you trace sales (and potential returns) of the product:

1) Each board will include a marking on the upper side of the PCB to identify what memory density is fitted to a specific board (visible in the graphic above).
2) All boards carry a unique serial number on the PCB and the individual carton so you can trace what actual boards have been shipped to a specific customer. This, of course, requires you to record serial numbers during your outbound shipping process. Full shippers of 180 boards also carry an external barcode to record the contents of each shipper.

The anatomy of Raspberry Pi 5

RP1

Raspberry Pi 5 is built using the RP1 I/O controller, a package containing silicon designed in-house at Raspberry Pi.

USB 3 has more total bandwidth, for much faster transfer speeds.

Camera and DSI display connectors are interchangeable, so you can have one of each, or two the same.

More than twice as fast and infinitely smoother

Raspberry Pi 5 features the Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Arm Cortex A76 processor @ 2.4GHz, making it up to three times faster than the previous generation. With RAM variants up to 16GB, this is the fastest, smoothest Raspberry Pi experience yet.

All aboard the PCI express

This addition to Raspberry Pi allows you to connect an M.2 SSD to your Raspberry Pi, giving you speedy data transfer and super-fast boot.

Feature

- New chipset, better performance: Raspberry Pi 5 features a new quad-core 2.4GHz Cortex-A76 Arm CPU, using the chip inside Raspberry Pi, with significant improvements in peripheral performance and functionality.
- Excellent graphics processing capabilities: Using the 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU, it provides better graphics performance suitable for high-definition multimedia, gaming, and graphics-intensive tasks, and can run various applications more smoothly.
- State Advanced camera support: With a dedicated 4-lane 1Gbps MIPI DSI/CSI display interface that triples total bandwidth and supports any combination of up to two cameras or displays.
- More connectivity options: Offers Gigabit Ethernet and PCIe interfaces, as well as dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-compatible 5.0/BLE wireless capabilities.
- Rich Peripheral Interfaces: Provides 1 UART connector, 1 microSD card slot supporting high-speed, 2 USB.0 3.0 supporting 5Gbps synchronous operation, 2 USB2.0 ports, 1 RTC, 2 supporting 4Kp60 display output for HDR.
