The Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest flagship in the Raspberry PI family and represents another major leap forward in single-board computing technology. Raspberry PI 5 is equipped with an advanced 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor at up to 2.4GHz, which improves processing performance by 2-3 times compared to Raspberry PI 4 to meet higher levels of computing needs.
In terms of graphics processing, it has a built-in 800MHz VideoCore VII graphics chip, which significantly enhances graphics performance and supports more complex visual applications and games. The newly added self-developed South-bridge chip optimizes I/O communication and improves the overall efficiency of the system. The Raspberry PI 5 also comes with two four-channel 1.5Gbps MIPI ports for dual cameras or displays, and a single-channel PCIe 2.0 port for easy access to high-bandwidth peripherals.
In order to facilitate users, the Raspberry PI 5 directly marks the memory capacity on the motherboard, and adds a physical power button to support one-click switch and standby functions. It will be available in 4GB and 8GB versions for $60 and $80, respectively, and is expected to go on sale at the end of October 2023. With its superior performance, enhanced feature set, and still-affordable price, this product provides a more powerful platform for education, hobbyists, developers, and industry applications.
