Released in October 2023, the Raspberry Pi 5 offers a significant improvement in performance over previous Raspberry Pi models. With a 2.4GHz quad-core processor and 8GB of RAM, the Raspberry Pi 5 has up to three times the CPU performance compared to its predecessors.
The incredible capacity of the Raspberry Pi 5 makes it capable of handling complex computing tasks such as AI inference, edge computing, real-time data processing, and high-resolution video playback. Whether you're pushing the limits of DIY tech or deploying embedded solutions in an industrial setting, the Pi 5 can make it happen.
- RP1: Raspberry Pi 5 is built using the RP1 I/O controller, a package containing silicon designed in-house at Raspberry Pi. USB 3 has more total bandwidth, for much faster transfer speeds. Camera and DSI display connectors are interchangeable, so you can have one of each, or two the same.
- More than twice as fast and infinitely smoother: Raspberry Pi 5 features the Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Arm Cortex A76 processor @ 2.4GHz, making it up to three times faster than the previous generation. With RAM variants up to 16GB, this is the fastest, smoothest Raspberry Pi experience yet.
- All aboard the PCI express: This addition to Raspberry Pi allows you to connect an M.2 SSD to your Raspberry Pi, giving you speedy data transfer and super-fast boot.
- Raspberry Pi OS: The latest release of Raspberry Pi OS is made to get the most from Raspberry Pi 5. The newest version of our operating system delivers a superb desktop performance, making it an ideal computer for work, leisure, enterprise, and more.
