The Raspberry Pi 5 is the fifth generation produced by the Raspberry Foundation. At the heart of the Raspberry Pi 5 is the Broadcom BCM2712, a 2.4 GHz quad-core processor based on a 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 architecture with cryptography extensions. Each core has 512 KB of L2 cache, and there is a shared 2 MB L3 cache. The VideoCore VII graphics processing unit supports the latest technologies, including OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2, for outstanding rendering performance.

The Raspberry Pi 5 boasts dual 4Kp60 HDMI video output with HDR support, so you can connect two high-resolution screens for multitasking projects or immersive gaming. The board also carries a 4Kp60 HEVC decoder for high-definition video playback.

With 8 GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM, the Raspberry Pi 5 offers plenty of memory to handle complex applications and multitasking effortlessly. Network connectivity comes from dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0/Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) support, for reliable wireless connections.

The Raspberry Pi 5 also has a generous set of USB ports, including two high-performance USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports. Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with PoE+ support (a separate PoE+ adapter is required) provides advanced networking options.
