With 2–3× the speed of the previous generation, and featuring silicon designed in‑house for the best possible performance, we’ve redefined the Raspberry Pi experience.

Raspberry Pi 5 8GB Computer

Raspberry Pi 5 The everything computer, 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. 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 8GB, this is the fastest, smoothest Raspberry Pi experience yet. This addition to Raspberry Pi allows you to connect an M.2 SSD to your Raspberry Pi, giving you speedy data transfer and super-fast boot.
