A significant leap forward in mini-computing, delivering up to three times the performance of its predecessor.
Driven by a 2.4GHz Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Cortex-A76 CPU and a VideoCore VII GPU, the Pi 5 delivers seamless performance for demanding tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, multimedia processing, and large project compilation, with support for OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 ensuring enhanced graphics and efficiency.
With dual 4Kp60 HDMI support, the Pi 5 delivers stunning visuals for digital signage, workstations, and multimedia applications. Upgraded to four-lane MIPI interfaces for cameras and displays, it offers faster refresh rates, higher resolutions, and greater bandwidth than its predecessor.
The Pi 5's RP1 I/O controller doubles USB bandwidth, featuring two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports for faster connections. A PCIe 2.0 x1 interface adds support for high-performance storage like NVMe drives, making it a versatile choice for hobbyist, commercial, and industrial needs.
With up to 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM, the Pi 5 excels at multitasking, software development, and memory-intensive applications.
Oh, and did we mention it has a power button? That's right, folks! For the first time ever, you can turn off your Raspberry Pi without having to dive under the desk and wrestle with your power strip. Welcome to the future, where convenience is literally at the push of a button!
In true pirate style, we’ve crafted a brand-new Pibow Case for the Pi 5! It protects your board while keeping GPIO, the power button, and all connectors accessible—and it’s fully compatible with the Active Cooler.
Feeling overwhelmed by all the options? Make it simple with our Pi 5 Starter Kit—it’s packed with everything you need to hit the ground running. Perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a hassle-free setup!
Next level performance
With a 2.4GHz quad-core Cortex-A76 CPU and up to 16GB LPDDR4 RAM, the Pi 5 offers 2–3× faster CPU performance than the Pi 4, plus a major graphics boost from its 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU.
The Pi 5 also packs SDR104 support for SD cards, doubling peak throughput. Early tests show blazing-fast 85+ MB/s sequential read speeds!
You’ll feel the difference—whether on the desktop, gaming, compiling kernels (still chasing that elusive Sound Blaster support?), or crunching data for your cat GIF-scraping bot. Meow! 🐱
Huge connectivity
The in-house designed RP1 "southbridge" chip boosts I/O performance with double the USB bandwidth and dual four-lane MIPI transceivers, enabling higher-resolution cameras and displays.
The Pi 5 features a user-accessible PCIe 2.0 lane for connecting high-speed hardware. Ready to ditch your microSD card for faster, larger solid-state storage? Check out our NVMe Base!
Dual micro-HDMI ports on the Pi 5 support up to 4Kp60 for sharp, high-resolution displays. Enjoy 4K movies with H.265 hardware decoding in your favorite media center. Need to connect to an HDMI monitor or TV? Grab an micro-HDMI cable.
The new chipset features Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, offering fast, reliable wireless networking with improved reception and reduced interference.
