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 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 In addition, the two-lane 1Gbps MIPI camera and display interfaces found on earlier models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling the total available bandwidth.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!

Lets Break things down
The Broadcom BCM2712 Chip
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-A72 is It's 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 basically a CPU ninja.
it's got a partner in crime, the Broadcom VideoCore VII. This graphical genius is like the Picasso of GPUs, born at 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
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; analogue 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.
