Despite doubts that the Raspberry Pi 5<\/a> would launch this year, the latest version of the microcomputer has arrived with some notable upgrades at a $60 starting price. Not only is it supposed to perform better than its predecessor, but it\u2019s also the first Raspberry Pi to come with in-house silicon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Powering the brain of the Raspberry Pi 5 is a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor that runs at 2.4GHz, allowing for a two to three times performance boost when compared to the four-year-old Raspberry Pi 4<\/a>. The device also comes with an 800MHz VideoCore VII graphics chip that the Raspberry Pi Foundation says offers a \u201csubstantial uplift\u201d in graphics performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I got to try out the device for myself. While I didn\u2019t have time to do much tinkering with it, I found that it boots up pretty quickly, while also loading webpages fast when compared to my older Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. It does get pretty hot, but luckily the Raspberry Pi sent over an active cooling component that I could mount directly on the board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Additionally, the Raspberry Pi 5 features a component made by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for the first time: the southbridge, also known as a part of the motherboard that helps it communicate with peripherals. With the RP1 southbridge, the Raspberry Pi Foundation says the microcomputer \u201cdelivers a step change in peripheral performance and functionality,\u201d enabling faster transfer speeds to external UAS drives and other peripherals. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It also opens up two four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers that let you connect up to two cameras or displays. There\u2019s also a new single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface for the first time, offering support for \u201chigh-bandwidth peripherals.\u201d However, the Raspberry Pi Foundation notes that you\u2019ll still need a separate adapter, such as an M.2 HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) for you to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In terms of ports, you can expect dual 4Kp60 HDMI display outputs with support for HDR, a microSD slot, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and a 5V DC power connection via USB-C. Some other nice-to-haves include support for Bluetooth 5.0 and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and peak SD card performance that\u2019s \u201cdoubled\u201d with the SDR104 high-speed mode. Together, all these upgrades make the Raspberry Pi 5 even more versatile, whether you\u2019re using it as an ultra-budget desktop PC, a media server, or even a DIY security system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Raspberry Pi 5 will come with a couple of different RAM options at launch, costing $60 for the 4GB version and $80 for 8GB. That makes it slightly more expensive than the Raspberry Pi 4, which is priced at $55 for 4GB of RAM and $75 for 8GB. The Raspberry Pi 5 will be available to purchase before the end of October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
