Raspberry Pi 5

In Stock

SKU: RP5-2GB

The compact supercomputer that brings your boldest ideas to life.

Released in October 2023, the Raspberry Pi 5 offers a significant improvement in performance over previous Raspberry Pi models. With a 2.4GHz quad-core processor and up to 16GB of RAM, the Raspberry Pi 5 has three times the CPU performance compared to its predecessors. 

The incredible capacity of the Raspberry Pi 5 makes it capable of handling complex computing tasks such as AI inference, edge computing, real-time data processing, and high-resolution video playback. Whether you're pushing the limits of DIY tech or deploying embedded solutions in an industrial setting, the Pi 5 can make it happen.

Key Features

  • Dual 4K Displays: Two Micro HDMI ports support a dual monitor setup.
  • USB 3 Ports: Transfer data ten times faster with two USB 3 ports.
  • Wi-Fi & Ethernet: Connect to the internet with Gigabit Ethernet or 2.4/5.0 GHz wireless LAN.
  • Bluetooth: Link other devices to the Raspberry Pi 5 using a Bluetooth 5.0 connection.
  • GPIO Pins: 40-pin GPIO header for connecting sensors, motors, and devices.

Operating Requirements

  • Power Supply: A 27W USB-C power supply is needed to provide power to the board.
  • Micro SD card with Raspberry Pi OS: Vilros offers SD cards pre-flashed with RPi OS.
  • Keyboard and Mouse: Connected through the Raspberry Pi’s USB ports.
  • Micro HDMI Cable: Used to connect a monitor to your Raspberry Pi 5.

How Much RAM Do You Need?

More RAM allows the Raspberry Pi 5 to run more programs at once, handle larger files, or support more demanding applications without slowing down. If you're not sure which to choose, the 8GB option is a great place to start for most beginners and educators.

  • 2GB – Great for simple projects, basic programming, and affordable setups for beginners.
  • 4GB – Ideal for general use, multitasking, media centers, and retro gaming projects.
  • 8GB – Best for advanced applications like Docker, robotics, AI, and development environments.
  • 16GB – Designed for high-performance tasks such as machine vision, data processing, and industrial-grade computing.

More Information About the Raspberry Pi 5

The release of the Raspberry Pi 5 is the first full-size Raspberry Pi computer that utilizes silicon developed in-house by Raspberry Pi. The new 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 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

The 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

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.

This chip is paired with a 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.

To keep the system 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. 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.

Pricey but powerful

Gonna make a new "media center" with it. I've already obtained a 4TB NVMe drive. I plan on keeping my music and DVDs on it (*AND* Gonna unplug my power hungry, Moneual AMD Windoze server).

Vilros is AWESOME! Quick service, competitive pricing and FREE shipping. YAY!!!
