Raspberry Pi 5 - Version 16Gb

Remarkably Improved Performance

Powered by a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4 GHz, the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB stands out significantly from its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 4. This innovative model offers a substantial increase in processing power, resulting in up to three times the performance.

The graphical capabilities also benefit from a clear advancement with the VideoCore VII GPU, clocked at 800 MHz. This equipment includes dual 4K display output at 60fps via micro HDMI ports and features enhanced camera support through a new image signal processor. It ensures a smooth user experience and opens up new prospects for applications in professional environments.

Enhanced Input/Output with the RP1 Southbridge

The Raspberry Pi 5 16GB marks a significant evolution by integrating internally developed silicon, featuring the new RP1 southbridge. This advancement greatly enhances user experience with increased input/output capabilities, optimizing interaction with various peripherals.

With doubled USB bandwidth, data transfers reach new speeds, particularly beneficial for external UAS drives and other high-speed devices.

The former MIPI 1Gbps transceivers have evolved into four-lane models totaling 1.5Gbps. This update triples the overall bandwidth, allowing the simultaneous connection of two cameras or displays for advanced applications.

SD card capabilities have also seen significant improvement with support for SDR104 mode, enabling much higher performance.

Finally, a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface has been integrated, paving the way for future accessory additions, enhancing modularity and extending functionality.
