Adafruit Raspberry Pi 5 - 16 GB RAM

The Raspberry Pi 5 introduces cutting-edge advancements in computing with its 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor clocked at 2.4GHz, ensuring a 2–3× boost in CPU performance compared to its predecessor. Integrated with an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU, it supports dual 4Kp60 display output over HDMI for exceptional visual clarity.

Enhanced connectivity options include USB 3.0 ports and a new Gigabit Ethernet chip with PoE capability, ideal for high-speed data transfer and network integration. Users benefit from dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN, expanding versatility in wireless applications.

The rearchitected Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor offers state-of-the-art camera support, making it a prime choice for advanced imaging projects. The RP1 “southbridge” significantly improves peripheral functionality, more than doubling aggregate USB bandwidth and introducing a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface for high-bandwidth peripherals.

The platform supports up to 16GB of RAM, accommodating various memory needs. Unique features include a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling display and camera interface bandwidth, and supporting combinations of up to two cameras or displays. Peak SD card performance is optimized with SDR104 high-speed mode support.

Note the Raspberry Pi 5’s redesigned architecture requires specially designed accessories. It outshines previous models, generating new possibilities for industrial applications and delivering a superior desktop experience.
