Raspberry Pi 5 – 8GB

The Raspberry Pi 5 – 8GB sets a new standard for single-board computers, offering desktop-class performance in a compact, affordable form factor. Engineered for power users, developers, educators, and DIY enthusiasts, this upgraded model features 8GB of high-speed LPDDR4X memory combined with a powerful quad-core Cortex-A76 processor. Whether you’re building a media server, coding platform, AI project, robotics controller, or advanced network appliance, the Raspberry Pi 5 – 8GB delivers the speed, flexibility, and efficiency you need.

Next-Generation Processing with Broadcom BCM2712

At the heart of the Raspberry Pi 5 – 8GB lies the Broadcom BCM2712 processor—a quad-core, 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU running at 2.4GHz. Compared to its predecessor, this represents a substantial leap in performance, enabling responsive multitasking and faster execution of applications. From running multiple browser tabs to compiling large codebases or emulating operating systems, the improved CPU architecture ensures high-speed computing with reduced latency and greater thermal efficiency.

8GB LPDDR4X RAM for Demanding Applications

With 8GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM, this version of the Raspberry Pi 5 is tailor-made for heavy-duty multitasking, memory-intensive workloads, and smooth 64-bit application support. It is the ideal choice for users building AI and machine learning systems, advanced development environments, or digital media production rigs. The extra memory headroom allows you to open multiple programs, run containers, and operate large datasets without slowdowns or memory swapping.

Graphics and Multimedia Like Never Before

For users needing rich visuals and multimedia capabilities, the Raspberry Pi 5 – 8GB includes the new VideoCore VII GPU. Supporting dual 4K displays at 60Hz through two micro-HDMI ports, it delivers smooth, high-resolution graphics suitable for digital signage, streaming media, or even lightweight 3D rendering. The GPU also supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2, making it more than capable of running modern graphical applications and enhancing visual responsiveness in your projects.

Storage, Connectivity, and I/O – All Upgraded

The Raspberry Pi 5 introduces PCIe 2.0 support via a dedicated FPC connector, opening up faster storage options such as NVMe SSDs for rapid boot and load times. The upgraded microSD card interface now supports faster data transfers as well. USB 3.0 ports ensure high-speed connectivity to external peripherals, and the true Gigabit Ethernet (now connected directly to the SoC) removes previous bandwidth bottlenecks. Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 enable seamless wireless communication with improved range and stability.

More Features for Professional-Grade Customization

Designed with flexibility in mind, the Raspberry Pi 5 – 8GB features dual 4-lane MIPI connectors for display and camera modules, supporting advanced imaging or dual-monitor setups. The standard 40-pin GPIO header remains fully compatible with existing HATs and add-ons, while a new built-in real-time clock (RTC) allows for timekeeping when the board is powered off—perfect for scheduling, data logging, or IoT deployments. A dedicated power button and improved power circuitry make the board easier to integrate into robust systems.
