Raspberry Pi 5 has been released!
Raspberry Pi 5 is a higher-performance computer than Raspberry Pi 4. It promises to offer 2–3× the speed of the previous generation. The new board features silicon designed in‑house for the best possible performance. Raspberry Pi features a new quad core 2.4 GHz Cortex-A76 Arm CPU (in BCM2712 SoC), a new Southbridge that promises to improve USB 3 throughput and a new VideoCore VII GPU.
Key features include:
- 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU
- VideoCore VII GPU, supporting OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.2
- Dual 4Kp60 HDMI® display output
- 4Kp60 HEVC decoder
- Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi®
- Bluetooth 5.0 / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
- High-speed microSD card interface with SDR104 mode support
- 2 × USB 3.0 ports, supporting simultaneous 5Gbps operation
- 2 × USB 2.0 ports
- Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE+ support (requires separate PoE+ HAT, coming soon)
- 2 × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceivers
- PCIe 2.0 x1 interface for fast peripherals
- Raspberry Pi standard 40-pin GPIO header
- Real-time clock
- Power button
There’s a slew of little improvements throughout the board, including a built-in fan header with mounting holes, faster and dual camera connectors and a microSD card reader that works with higher-speed cards. The device has dual HDMI ports, with each one having a 4K display output at frame rates of up to 60 fps, as well as support for HDR.
While the main system on a chip is still designed by Broadcom, the Raspberry Pi 5 is the first full-size Raspberry Pi that uses custom silicon — the RP1. This is a southbridge chip, meaning that it handles I/O functions and replaces some the functions that were previously handled by the main system on a chip. It also replaces most of the analog components of the main SoC: GPIO and associated low-speed peripherals, Ethernet MAC, MIPI CSI/DSI, analog TV.
Raspberry Pi 5 is coming coming in October 2023. At just $60 or $90 MSRP, the 4 and 8GB models are a mere $5 more than the same memory capacity SKUs of the Raspberry Pi 4. Upton said 100,000 units should be available at launch – scheduled by the end of October. The Raspberry Pi 5 will remain in production until 2035.
You will need the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, Bookworm, for your Raspberry Pi 5. Bookworm will launch in mid-October.
Raspberry Pi 5 won’t fit the Raspberry Pi 4 Case. Raspberry Pi 5 is faster and more powerful than prior-generation Raspberry Pis, and like most general-purpose computers, it will perform best with active cooling in a Pi 5 case designed specifically for it. For powering this new computer, a high-quality 5V 5A USB-C power supply is needed (such as the new Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C Power Supply).
However, there is some bad news to stir into the pot. The audio and composite jack has been ditched. According to Pi supremo, Eben Upton, this was due to space constraints on the board. As for what users requiring composite functionality should do, Upton told us: “For composite video, you can see there is a pair of 0.1″ pads on the bottom edge.” “There’s isn’t a recommended solution for audio, other than to use either a USB audio device or HAT.”

For the first time, it’s going to be easier to add PCI Express peripherals as the Raspberry Pi team exposes a new single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface. You will have to get a HAT extension (Hardware Attached on Top) or an adapter to take advantage of that interface though. Similarly, power-over-Ethernet is supported through a separate HAT.

Overclocking computer systems is a fun way to extract some free performance, or at least see how far you can push the hardware before you run into practical limitations. The newly released Raspberry Pi 5 with BCM2712 SoC is no exception here, with Tom’s Hardware having a go at seeing how far both the CPU and GPU in the SoC can be pushed….
OVERCLOCKING RASPBERRY PI 5’S SOC TO 3 GHZ AND 1 GHZ GPU
https://hackaday.com/2023/10/01/overclocking-raspberry-pi-5s-soc-to-3-ghz-and-1-ghz-gpu/?fbclid=IwAR2ig8PQMJDwQkD9h1dsGNDmrLIuneqUlPaF7cMiwBlua0C_WO-f7LE7wGQ
The BCM2712’s quad Cortex-A76 CPU is normally clocked at 2.4 GHz and the VideoCore VII GPU at 800 MHz. By modifying some settings in the /boot/config.txt configuration file these values can be adjusted.
In order to verify that an overclock was stable, the Stressberry application was used, which fully loads the CPU cores. Here something like a combination of stress-ng and glxgears could also be used, to stress both the CPU and GPU. With the official actively cooled heatsink the CPU reached a temperature of 74°C with a whole board power usage of about 10 Watts. At idle this dropped to 3 Watts at 46°C.
This probably means that increasing the CPU clock may be beneficial, but OCing the GPU could be futile without also OCing the RAM frequency, if at all possible.
Realistically, the Raspberry Pi SoCs never were speed monsters, with even the Raspberry Pi 4B’s SoC being beaten handily in 2020 by a budget dual-core Intel CPU. The current Intel Alder-Lake-N-based N100 SoC has a 6 Watt TDP and boosts up to 3.4 GHz while its Xe-LP-based iGPU (with AV1 decoding support) makes for a decent gaming experience within a ~16 Watt power envelope. Clearly, any OCing of the Raspberry Pi boards is more for the challenge of it, but then so is running the latest Intel CPU at 10 GHz with liquid nitrogen cooling.

Raspberry Pi Releases Draft Datasheet for the RP1, Its Smart I/O Chip Driving the Raspberry Pi 5
Raspberry Pi’s Eben Upton hints at additional features yet to be announced.
https://www.hackster.io/news/raspberry-pi-releases-draft-datasheet-for-the-rp1-its-smart-i-o-chip-driving-the-raspberry-pi-5-640c03499cdd?fbclid=IwAR0OdkrUQkMpzTPUmt5Uh_w9Y909TZMXWxwECBuT_991JE_Z399bGwIsjCA
Raspberry Pi has released a draft datasheet for the RP1 input/output (I/O) controller, a major new feature of the upcoming Raspberry Pi 5 and, technically speaking, the first in-house silicon the company ever started designing.
“Raspberry Pi 5 is the most complicated, and expensive, engineering program we’ve ever undertaken at Raspberry Pi, spanning over seven years, and costing on the order of $25 million,” claims Raspberry Pi’s Eben Upton of the soon-to-launch single-board computer. “It’s also our first flagship product to make use of silicon designed in-house here at Raspberry Pi, in the form of the RP1 I/O controller.”
That RP1, which despite launching considerably after the also-designed-in-house RP2040 microcontroller on the Raspberry Pi Pico range was actually the first project for Raspberry Pi’s in-house chip design team, was added to the Raspberry Pi 5 in order to offload “low-speed” peripherals from the main system-on-chip (SoC) — primarily so that the general-purpose input/output (GPIO) header could remain operating at a 3.3V logic level and enjoy 5V tolerance even while the SoC drops to 1.8V logic.
The RP1 handles the GPIO header, the MIPI Camera Serial Interface and Display Serial Interface (CSI and DSI) ports, the USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, the gigabit Ethernet port, the analogue video output — no longer available on the 3.5mm AV jack, excised to make room for the twin CSI/DSI ports, but still present on an unpopulated pin header — and other low-speed peripherals required to match the functionality of a Raspberry Pi 4′s BCM2711 SoC.
That’s only part of the story, though: the draft datasheet released today dives into some of the other features of the RP1 chip, including the presence of two Arm Cortex=M3 processor cores, an eight-channel direct memory access (DMA) controller, three integrated fractional-N phase-locked loops (PLLs), a four-channel 12-bit-resolution analog-to-digital converter (ADC), 64kB of shared static RAM (SRAM), and built-in timebase generators which can be used to pace DMA events or debouncing GPIO.

Raspberry Pi releases RP1 peripheral controller datasheet and block diagram
https://www.cnx-software.com/2023/10/07/raspberry-pi-rp1-datasheet-block-diagram/?fbclid=IwAR2IPdG0AWLmPCLvaK-c0_vs5GaWB6S1gWCFxsB0VCEy11kHfz9VClkm-Kc
The Raspberry Pi 5 was recently introduced with the Broadcom BCM2712 CPU and the RP1 chip handling I/Os designed in-house by the Raspberry Pi just like they did for the RP2 (RP2040) microcontroller, and we now have more details about the Raspberry Pi RP1 including a (draft) datasheet and a block diagram.
The RP2040 came out before the RP1 peripheral controller as the design for the latter started 7 years ago with a total R&D budget to develop the Raspberry Pi 5 of around 25 million dollars. While at launch, we knew the RP1 handled some peripherals, doubled USB bandwidth with two separate USB 3.0 hosts, and embedded higher speed MIPI interfaces, it was unclear whether some of the other connections came from the BCM2712 or RP1 chips. But we now do know with the release of the datasheet.

Raspberry Pi viedään pörssiin
https://etn.fi/index.php/13-news/15416-raspberry-pi-viedaeaen-poerssiin
Maailman suosituin rakentelijoiden korttitietokone Raspberry Pi viedään pörssiin, sanoo korttitekniikkaan kehittävän säätiön ja yrityksen toimitusjohtaja Eben Upton. Yrityksen markkina-arvoksi on arvioitu noin puoli miljardia dollaria.
Viime vuonna puolijohdepula rokotti Raspberry Pi -korttien myyntiä niin, että asiakkaille saatiin vain viisi miljoonaa korttia. 188 miljoonan dollarin liikevaihto tuotti voittoa 20 miljoonaa dollarilla.
Eben Upton arvioi, että tänä vuonna saadaan myytyä 7 miljoonaa korttia. Myyntiä vauhdittaa vastikään julkistettu 5. sukupolven kortti, joka kasvatti reilusti kortin suorituskykyä
Raspberry Pi Foundation on voittoa tavoittelematon säätiö, joka omistaa Raspberry Pi Ltd:n.

Arturo182 Beats Raspberry Pi to the Punch, Converts the Raspberry Pi 5 Into the “Unofficial CM5″
Clever interstitial board and some adapters, plus plenty of FFCs, provide a CM4-compatible Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 — of sorts.

“The Raspberry Pi 5 has been available for 2 weeks now, and still no CM5 [Compute Module 5]? Sorry, this will not stand,” Arturo182 writes of the project. “Time for me to take matters into my own hands! Introducing, the (not really) CM5! The power of RPi 5 in the CM4 form-factor.”
That’s where Arturo182′s “Unofficial RPi CM5″ board comes in. Designed as an interstitial board, the adapter sits between a device which expects a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 or compatible SOM and the full-size Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer — adapting signals from one to the other, and providing that extra computational oomph ahead of a true Compute Module 5 launch.

“We know what people don’t like [and] what people do like,” Upton says, “and we have a chip team.”
Raspberry Pi’s Eben Upton has hinted that a successor to the company’s wildly popular RP2040 dual-core microcontroller may be on the way — and that the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 will launch in 2024, with “a high degree of commonality” with the earlier Compute Module 4.
Speaking at the Cambridge Raspberry Jam event this weekend, Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton put numbers to the flow of new Raspberry Pi 5 boards which is still struggling to keep up with sky-high demands. “Today, [we] are making about 10,000 [Raspberry] Pi 5s per day, out of a total of 40,000 Pis per day,” Upton told attendees, according a summary posted to Mastodon by Jonathan Pallant.
All of those devices, the company has previously promised, are ring-fenced for makers and tinkerers with industrial buyers being pushed back to 2024 for their stock — a way of making up for the shortages which had previously plagued the Raspberry Pi 4, with industrial buyers being given priority during the component shortage crisis.
More interesting than production numbers, though, were Upton’s comments on the low-cost Raspberry Pi RP2040 dual-core microcontroller and the Raspberry Pi Pico board on which it sits. “We know what people don’t like about [RP]2040,” Upton admitted at the event, “the [Arm Cortex-]M0+ [architecture], could have more RAM, could have more GPIO [General-Purpose Input/Output], and we know what people do like — the PIO [Programmable Input/Output blocks]… and we have a chip team.”
