Raspberry Pi 5 builds on the phenomenal success of Raspberry Pi 4. 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. Other enhancements include improvements to camera i/o, display, and USB interfacing (Aggregate USB bandwidth is more than doubled). The Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a smoother desktop experience and performance that opens the door to new applications for industrial customers.

These interfacing improvements are delivered by the RP1 I/O controller chip, designed in-house at Raspberry Pi. For the first time, there is Raspberry Pi silicon on a flagship product! The Raspberry Pi 5 is a quad-core computer that can drive 2 x 4k monitors, LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM, Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE+ support, USB3.0, wireless LAN, Bluetooth 5.0, and more! It has all of the specs and the raw performance normally found on desktop PCs. The Raspberry Pi 5 is currently available in both 4BG & 8GB versions. For the first time, the Pi now features its own onboard on/off switch.

The new Raspberry Pi 5 offers the perfect coding environment for all ability levels and there are plenty of guides online for any kind of project you can imagine. Raspberry Pi 5 has onboard connectivity; Wifi, USB2.0/3.0, Gigabit Ethernet, and Bluetooth give you all of the networking options you could possibly want. The 40-pin GPIO connectors mean that you can expand the board via HATs and connect a whole array of extra devices.

The Raspberry Pi 5 is 100% ready for education, it offers the perfect platform for learning and teaching; coding, Linux, IoT systems, streaming media, playing games, automated domestic and industrial applications, a complete desktop solution, and much much more.
