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.

Raspberry Pi 5 16GB

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.

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; dual
4Kp60 display output over HDMI; and state-of-the-art camera support from a rearchitected
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 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and display interfaces present on earlier models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane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.
