With a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor at 2.4GHz, Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a 2-3x increase in CPU performance over Raspberry Pi 4. In addition to a significant boost in graphics performance from an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU; dual 4Kp60 display output over HDMI; and state-of-the-art camera support from a rebuilt Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor, it provides 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 that uses silicon built in-house at Raspberry Pi. The RP1 “southbridge” provides the bulk of the I/O capabilities for the Raspberry Pi 5 and delivers a step change in peripheral performance and functionality. Overall USB bandwidth is more than doubled, providing faster transfer speeds to external UAS drives and other high-speed external devices; the dedicated two-lane 1 Gbps MIPI camera and monitor interfaces found on previous models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane 1.5 Gbps MIPI transceivers, which triple the overall bandwidth and support any combination of up to two cameras or monitors; peak SD card performance is doubled through support for SDR104 high-speed mode; and for the first time on the platform, there is now a single lane PCI Express 2.0 interface that supports high-bandwidth peripherals.
