Raspberry Pi 5 8GB – Latest Gen Quad-Core SBC with PCIe & RP1 I/O Controller
Raspberry Pi 5 8GB — The Most Powerful Raspberry Pi Ever Made
The Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) is the flagship single-board computer from Raspberry Pi Ltd, delivering a 2‱3x performance leap over its predecessor. Powered by the Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor at 2.4GHz and equipped with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, it handles demanding desktop workloads, media centers, AI inference, and complex IoT applications with ease.
For the first time, Raspberry Pi introduces a dedicated RP1 I/O controller chip, a PCIe 2.0 interface, and a real-time clock — making the Pi 5 a true platform upgrade for professionals and enthusiasts alike.
