Raspberry Pi 5 - 8Gb version

2 to 3 times higher performance

Featuring a 64-bit, quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4 GHz, the Raspberry Pi 5 represents a significant advance over its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 4.

Indeed, this new iteration offers an impressive increase in processor performance, in the range of 2 to 3 times that of the Raspberry Pi 4.

In addition to improved graphics performance thanks to a VideoCore VII GPU clocked at 800 MHz, dual 4Kp60 display output over micro HDMI and state-of-the-art camera support thanks to a re-architected Raspberry Pi image signal processor, it offers a smooth desktop experience for consumers and opens the way to new applications for industrial customers.

I/O management via the new Raspberry Pi "RP1" Southbridge

For the first time, this is a full-size Raspberry Pi computer using silicon manufactured in-house by Raspberry Pi. The RP1 "southbridge" provides the bulk of the Raspberry Pi 5's I/O capabilities and brings a radical change in peripheral performance and functionality.

Aggregate USB bandwidth is more than doubled, resulting in faster transfer speeds to external UAS drives and other high-speed peripherals.

The two-way 1Gbps MIPI camera and display interfaces found on previous models have been replaced by a pair of four-way 1.5 Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling total bandwidth and enabling up to two cameras or displays to be combined.

Maximum SD card performance is doubled, thanks to support for the SDR104 high-speed mode.

What's more, this platform features a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, providing bandwidth and information access for future accessories.
