Introduction
Featuring a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a 2–3× increase in CPU performance relative to Raspberry Pi 4.
Alongside a substantial uplift in graphics performance from an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU, it supports dual 4Kp60 display output over HDMI and provides state-of-the-art camera support through a rearchitected Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor. This combination ensures a smooth desktop experience for consumers and opens the door to new applications for industrial customers.
For the first time, this is a full-size Raspberry Pi computer using silicon built in-house
at Raspberry Pi. The RP1 “southbridge” provides the bulk of the I/O capabilities for
Raspberry Pi 5, and delivers a step change in peripheral performance and functionality.
Aggregate USB bandwidth is more than doubled, yielding faster transfer speeds to external UAS drives and other high-speed peripherals; the dedicated two-lane 1Gbps MIPI camera and display interfaces present on earlier models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling total bandwidth, and supporting any combination of up to two cameras or displays; peak SD card performance is doubled, through support for the SDR104 high-speed mode; and for the first time the platform exposes a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, providing support for high-bandwidth peripherals.
