Description

Raspberry Pi 5, equipped with 8 GB of RAM , is the next installment of the iconic "Raspberry" series. Raspberry Pi 5 is powered by a quad-core Broadcom BCM2712 ARM Cortex-A76 64-bit processor clocked at 2.4 GHz, which is 2-3 times more efficient than its predecessor in Raspberry Pi 4. Graphics have also been greatly improved, with the Raspberry Pi 4 now featuring an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU alongside its VideoCore VI GPU. The Raspberry Pi 5 can drive two 4K @ 60Hz displays and has 4K @ 60 HEVC decoding hardware capabilities, providing excellent graphics performance. This upgrade makes it a qualitative leap in performance compared to the previous generation product.

The Raspberry Pi 5 also features a dual-channel 1Gbps MIPI camera, tripling the total bandwidth and allowing up to two cameras or displays in any combination. Developers can capture stunning visuals and easily leverage the power of multiple cameras.

The board offers versatile connectivity, not only does it offer Gigabit Ethernet as well as WiFi and Bluetooth-compatible 5.0/BLE wireless connectivity, but it also exposes a single-lane PCIe interface so you can seamlessly integrate with a variety of devices and networks.

Enhanced peripherals further expand the board's usability. It includes a microSD card slot for high-speed storage, a UART connector, 2 USB 3.0 ports supporting lightning-fast 5Gbps data transfer, and two additional USB 2.0 ports. Additionally, there's 1 RTC for precise timing, and 2 HDR-enabled 4Kp60 display outputs, allowing you to enjoy stunning visuals on multiple monitors.

The Everything computer. Optimised.
