Raspberry Pi 5 Single Board Computer - 4GB

The Raspberry Pi 5 (4GB) is a powerful single-board computer driven by a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz alongside 4GB of LPDDR4X SDRAM. Delivering a 2 to 3 times increase in CPU speed and upgraded graphics over its predecessor, it is well suited for makers, educators, students, and industrial developers building desktop alternatives or embedded solutions.

Next-generation processor and graphics

Powered by a 2.4GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor and an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU, the board delivers a 2 to 3 times performance increase over Raspberry Pi 4. It supports dual 4Kp60 display outputs with HDR support, OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.2, and hardware-accelerated 4Kp60 HEVC decoding.

RP1 southbridge architecture

Raspberry Pi's in-house RP1 silicon manages I/O functions to provide a major leap in peripheral throughput. Aggregate USB bandwidth is more than doubled for fast UAS drive transfers, peak microSD card speeds are doubled via SDR104 mode, and a single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface is exposed for high-bandwidth add-ons.

Compact board dimensions

The physical layout retains standard single-board dimensions while introducing an integrated on-off power button and a dedicated real-time clock connector powered from an external battery. Power is supplied via a 5V/5A USB-C connection with Power Delivery support.

Flexible interface connectivity

Connectivity options include Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ support via a separate HAT, two 5Gbps USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, a UART connector, and the standard 40-pin GPIO header. Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 with BLE are built in for wireless communication.

Dual MIPI camera and display ports

Two 4-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers replace earlier two-lane connectors, tripling total bandwidth. Supported by a rearchitected Image Signal Processor, these versatile ports accommodate any combination of up to two cameras or displays.

Wide range of applications

With substantial computing and graphical capability, the board is suited for desktop PC alternatives, multimedia centres, consoles, and educational learning setups. It also provides a stable foundation for smart home controllers, sensor networks, remote monitoring, and industrial automation projects.
