With 2-3 times the speed compared to the previous generation and with internally designed silicon for the best possible performance, we have redefined the Raspberry Pi experience.
The new Raspberry Pi 5 is a technological leap in its category! At the heart of the board is the new 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor, now running at 2.4 GHz, providing a 2 to 3 times performance increase compared to the Raspberry Pi 4.
Graphics performance has also been significantly improved, thanks to the new 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU, which now supports two displays in full 4Kp60. With Raspberry Pi's upgraded image signal processor, your desktop experience reaches a new dimension, paving the way for innovative industrial solutions.
A special feature: For the first time, a Raspberry Pi computer is based on a chip designed by Raspberry Pi itself. The RP1 Southbridge is at the heart of the Raspberry Pi 5's expandable I/O capabilities. It allows for double the USB bandwidth and triple the bandwidth on the two MIPI ports for connected CSI cameras and DSI displays, thanks to four lanes of 1.5 Gb/s each.
The Raspberry Pi 5 also features a PCI Express 2.0 interface and double the SD card performance.
Finally, the Raspberry Pi 5 offers new useful features such as an on/off button, mounting holes, and a connector for an optional heatsink, an additional UART port (compatible with the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe), and a socket for an optional rechargeable real-time clock battery.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Is the Raspberry Pi 5 compatible with older versions of Raspberry Pi OS?
A: No, the Raspberry Pi 5 requires a memory card with the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS "Bookworm." Older images will not run on the Pi 5. -
Q: Which memory card is recommended for the Pi 5?
A: The SanDisk Extreme Pro is recommended, as it was found to perform very well in tests, offering short boot times and consistently high memory performance. -
Q: Do I absolutely need a new power supply for the Raspberry Pi 5?
A: The Pi 5 can operate with the official Raspberry Pi 4 5V/3A USB-C power supply. However, for optimal performance, the new Raspberry Pi 27W 5V/5A USB-C power supply with USB PD support is recommended.
Fully upgraded, redesigned, faster, more powerful
With 2-3 times the speed compared to the previous generation and with internally designed silicon for the best possible performance, we have redefined the Raspberry Pi experience.
RP1
The Raspberry Pi 5 is built using the RP1 I/O controller, a package containing silicon designed in-house at Raspberry Pi.
USB 3 has greater overall bandwidth, for much faster transfer speeds.
The camera and DSI display connectors are interchangeable, so you can have one of each or two of the same.
More than twice as fast and infinitely smoother
The Raspberry Pi 5 features the quad-core Broadcom BCM2712 Arm Cortex A76 processor at 2.4 GHz, making it up to three times faster than the previous generation. With RAM variations up to 8GB, it offers the fastest and smoothest Raspberry Pi experience to date.
Raspberry Pi OS
The latest version of Raspberry Pi OS is designed to make the most of the Raspberry Pi 5. Our newest operating system version offers excellent desktop performance, making it an ideal computer for work, leisure, business, and much more.
