The Raspberry Pi Foundation has launched the Raspberry Pi 5, over 4 years after introducing the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. While the Raspberry Pi Foundation won’t start transport till subsequent month, the likes of Phoronix have already benchmarked the new single-board computer (SBC).
For reference, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has primarily based the Raspberry Pi 5 across the Boardcom BCM2712, a chipset with 4 ARM Cortex-A76 CPU cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and a VideoCore VII GPU operating at 800 MHz. Additionally, the Raspberry Pi 5 comes with a selection of 4 GB or 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM initially, with 1 GB and 2 GB variants out there at a later date. Moreover, the Raspberry Foundation claims that the Raspberry Pi 5 incorporates the next benefits over its predecessor:
- 4-lane MIPI interfaces
- 2x MicroSD card performance
- Dedicated UART connector
- HDR help
- PCIe 2.0 x1 FPC
- Raspberry Pi RP1 Southbridge
- Real-time clock
- Power button
- USB Power Delivery help
According to Phoronix’s findings, the Raspberry Pi 5 lives as much as its billing with vastly improved performance in all workloads in comparison with the Raspberry Pi 4. The web site notes that that is achieved partly because of the first-party lively cooler, which the Foundation has shipped with evaluate models. Also, the Orange Pi 5 proves extra highly effective in sure benchmarks because of its octa-core chipset.
The Raspberry Pi 5 begins at US$60 within the US earlier than taxes, US$5 greater than its predecessor. Alternatively, the Raspberry Pi Foundation will promote the 8 GB of RAM variant for US$80. While the Foundation has already opened pre-orders, it won’t start transport Raspberry Pi 5 models on the finish of October.
Prior to writing and translating for Notebookcheck, I labored for varied firms together with Apple and Neowin. I’ve a BA in International History and Politics from the University of Leeds, which I’ve since transformed to a Law Degree. Happy to speak on Twitter or Notebookchat.
