Raspberry Pi 5 Single Board Computer - 8GB

The Raspberry Pi 5 is powered by a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, delivering an impressive 2–3× increase in CPU performance compared to its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 4. This leap in processing power makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of computing tasks, from running complex simulations to efficiently handling everyday computing needs.

Equipped with an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU, the Raspberry Pi 5 enhances its graphics capabilities significantly. This upgrade supports dual 4Kp60 display outputs over HDMI, ensuring crisp, high-quality visuals suitable for both entertainment and professional usage. The improved Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor further enriches this offering by providing top-tier camera support, making it perfect for both budding creatives and seasoned developers aiming to explore new multimedia applications.

In a pioneering move, the Raspberry Pi 5 is the first full-size board to incorporate silicon built in-house by Raspberry Pi. The RP1 “southbridge” manages a vast array of I/O capabilities, elevating peripheral performance to new heights. Users can experience more than doubled USB bandwidth, enabling faster data transfers to external UAS drives and other high-speed peripherals. The reimagined MIPI interfaces allow for increased bandwidth, supporting intricate combinations of up to two cameras or displays, perfect for integrated projects requiring complex visual input or output setups.

The Raspberry Pi 5 also introduces a significant advancement in storage capabilities. With support for SDR104 high-speed mode, users can experience doubled peak SD card performance. For the first time, the platform features a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, broadening the horizon for integrating high-bandwidth peripherals. This enhancement allows for seamless integration of additional components, making it a versatile framework for creative and technical solutions.
