Flagship Raspberry Pi SBC performance 

The Raspberry Pi 5 introduces a powerful 2.4GHz quad-core, 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, equipped with 512KB L2 caches and a 2MB shared L3 cache. This remarkable improvement translates to a 3 times increase in CPU performance compared to its predecessor. The Cortex-A76, built on the new 7nm technology, is a more advanced and power-efficient CPU core compared to the 10nm Cortex-A72, offering superior single-threaded and multi-threaded performance.

Raspberry Pi 5 Specs:

Processor:  Broadcom BCM2712 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, with cryptography extensions, 512KB per-core L2 caches, and a 2MB shared L3 cache

Features:

  • 2.4GHz quad-core, 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU
  • VideoCore VII GPU supporting  Vulkan 1.2 and OpenGL ES
  • LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM (4GB and 8GB options)
  • PCIe 2.0 x1 interface for fast peripherals ( Requires adapter)
  • Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz  
  • Bluetooth 5.0 / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
  • Micro SD card slot, supports high-speed SDR104
  • 4X USB Ports (2 × 3.0 , supporting 5Gbps + 2 X 2.0)
  • Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE+ capabilities (requires Pi 5 PoE+ HAT)
  • 2 × 4 lane MIPI camera /display transceivers
  • 5V/5A USB-C power input (PD enabled for higher USB power) 
  • Raspberry Pi standard 40-pin header
  • Real-Time Clock (RTC), powered from an external battery (Sold Separately)
  • On-board power button


This marks a significant milestone as it's the first full-size Raspberry Pi computer that utilizes silicon developed in-house by Raspberry Pi. The RP1 "southbridge" plays a pivotal role in providing most of the I/O capabilities for the Raspberry Pi 5, bringing about a substantial improvement in peripheral performance and functionality.

The overall USB bandwidth has been more than doubled, resulting in faster data transfer speeds for external UAS drives and other high-speed peripherals. In addition, the two-lane 1Gbps MIPI camera and display interfaces found on earlier models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling the total available bandwidth. This versatile setup supports any combination of up to two cameras or displays.

Peak SD card performance has also seen a doubling in speed, thanks to the support for the high-speed SDR104 mode. Furthermore, for the first time, this platform introduces a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, providing the means to connect high-bandwidth peripherals seamlessly


Production lifetime: Raspberry Pi 5 will remain in production until at least January 2035. So if you're looking where to buy Raspberry pi 5 8GB we got you covered! Are you looking for the cheapest place where to buy Raspberry Pi 5 kits and bundles we can handle that too!

Raspberry pi 5 Specs

Lets Break things down 


The Broadcom BCM2712 Chip 

raspberry pi 5 - Broadcom BCM2712
At the heart of the new Raspberry Pi 5 is the all-new 16-nanometer Broadcom BCM2712.  Powered by a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor, clocking at a whopping 2.4GHz, with 512KB per core L2 caches, and a 2MB shared total L3 cache! 

The Cortex-A76 is three generations ahead of the old Cortex-A72 and does more tricks in a single tick of the clock while sipping less power. It's a CPU ninja.

it's got a partner in crime, the Broadcom VideoCore VII. This graphical genius is like the Picasso of GPUs, born in the Raspberry Pi hometown of Cambridge. And it comes with fully open-source Mesa drivers Igalia. It can even juggle two 4Kp60 HDMI displays simultaneously, making your screen time feel like a Hollywood premiere.

The updated VideoCore hardware (HVS) is capable of driving two simultaneous 4Kp60 HDMI displays,

To keep this whole show running smoothly, there's a 32-bit LPDDR4X SDRAM subsystem, running at a whopping 4267MT/s. That's like giving your Raspberry Pi a sugar rush compared to the old 2000MT/s.











RP1 - Raspberry Pi custom silicon I/O controller








Raspberry pi 5 - RP1
RP1 is the I/O controller for Raspberry Pi 5. Designed in-house by the Raspberry Pi team in Cambridge costing $15m to develop!
It provides two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 interfaces; a Gigabit Ethernet controller; two four-lane MIPI transceivers for camera and display; analog video output; 3.3V general-purpose I/O (GPIO); and the usual collection of GPIO-multiplexed low-speed interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, and PWM). A four-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface provides a 16Gb/s link back to BCM2712.

Grandson was thrilled

I bought this as a Christmas present for my grandson and he was very happy to receive it. He texted his cousin who also has used your products and they were already conspiring to build collaboratively. Seems like a winner.

My Review

This is my second Pi 5 from Vilros and I just love the both of them. The first one I turned into a basic desktop for web browsing and such for my family and they can't believe that for such a small board it does the work of a regular computer with ease. The second Pi 5 I got was turned into a retro arcade system so we could play all the old retro games on our big screen. Vilros ships fast and secure and the way they package everything makes sure you get everything your supposed to get when you order from them. Their packaging is also very stylus.

RPis Are Great - but...

I have purchased many PIs 1, 2, As, Bs, 3,4,5 etc. But for some reason the USB on the PI 5 does not recognize my KVM switch. PI 4s have no issue, have no issue. Maybe it will get fixed in the future, but I fear it's power related. Otherwise, it works well for what I need. A definite step up in performance from the PI4.

Raspberry PI 5 and Accessories

I am running my new PI 5 8GB with a Sandisk A2 128GB SD, the standard plastic case, the extra heatsink and fan, the 27W power supply and the mini to HDMI cable/adapter. The Sandisk SD loads real fast compared to a 32GB card I borrowed from my phone. Mine will run 2.975GHz and stays reasonably cool with the extra cooler I got with the PI. I am running [****] with BOINC that is set to use 95% of CPU and the GPU full time. The performance is good using the Chromium browser. The Raspbian OS (Debian) has a few features that are different from what I am used to on Ubuntu, but it is solid and has many apps for the PI that are really nice. I haven't tried doing any custom hardware but I will get there. I wish there was a top cover that worked with the heatsink and fan.
