Raspberry Pi 5

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

The Raspberry Pi 5 claims to have two to three times the processing power of the Raspberry Pi 4, already a powerful single board computer. Available in 4 and 8GB RAM capacities (with 1 and 2GB models to come later), the Raspberry Pi 5 is the same basic size and shape as the Model 4 B, but adds a number of long-requested features such as a built-in real-time clock, a PCIe 2.0 connector and a 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.”

    The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, based on the Pi 5, is coming 2024 — along with, potentially, an RP2040 successor.

    Eben Upton Hints at an RP2040 Successor, Promises a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 in 2024
    “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.

    The fastest Raspberry Pi just got faster!

    The Raspberry Pi 5 introduced PCIe connectivity to the model B form factor and with it we are slowly seeing a number of boards for NVMe SSDs. The first was Pineberry Pi’s Hat Drives, followed by Pimoroni’s NVMe Base. The official Raspberry Pi M.2 board is just on the horizon, as the PIP, a Raspberry Pi word for PCIe Peripheral, specification has just been released.

    The artificial 3GHz clockspeed limit enforced on the Raspberry Pi 5 has been removed — if you’re willing to install a “very not at all recommended firmware,” and if your particular board was a winner in the silicon lottery.

    The Raspberry Pi 5′s 3GHz Limit Is Lifted, Thanks to a “Very Not At All Recommended” Firmware
    A firmware limit placed based on Broadcom’s recommendations can now be lifted, allowing clock speeds above 3GHz for the first time.
    https://www.hackster.io/news/the-raspberry-pi-5-s-3ghz-limit-is-lifted-thanks-to-a-very-not-at-all-recommended-firmware-328e7bbcaab5?fbclid=IwAR0y3o-kNASbLccidkEY_9sVIcX9Gngnqx-JIhg03XsxIc6pvPtaYMOZVZQ

    while many, though not all, Raspberry Pi 5 boards could happily overclock from their stock 2.4GHz to an impressive 3GHz, that was it. The reason: a hard limit placed by Raspberry Pi within the firmware, preventing the processor from running above this speed owing to claims by Broadcom that going beyond this would be outside the capabilities of the phase-locked loop (PLL) in the BCM2712 system-on-chip (SoC).

    Until now, anyway. A new firmware, released on GitHub yesterday, removes the 3GHz limit and allows for clocking above this speed. YouTuber Jeff Geerling was one of the first to take it for a spin, successfully overclocking a Raspberry Pi 5 to an appropriate 3.14GHz — with variable stability, it must be admitted.

    Thus far, no permanent damage has been reported, but it remains possible: stability beyond 3GHz is questionable, and the additional voltage bump required to counteract that has the potential to permanently damage boards.

    Shares in British microcomputer maker Raspberry Pi jumped more than a third on its first day of trading in London, providing a boost for the UK stock market amid a dearth of flotations.

    The Cambridge-based group on Tuesday confirmed an offer price at the top end of a range of 260p to 280p, implying a market valuation of about £542mn. Shares rose 36 per cent to 380p in “conditional dealing”, which is only open to institutional shareholders.

    Demand for the stock, which will begin open trade for retail investors from Friday, is a shot in the arm for a London market struggling to attract interest from high-growth technology companies, which mostly prefer to list in New York.

    Raspberry Pi on maailman suosituin korttitietokone, josta pitävät harrastelijoiden ja rakentelijoiden lisäksi ammattilaisetkin. Nyt säätiön rinnalla yritys on menossa Lontoon pörssiin. Huomenna yrityksen osakkeilla aletaan käydä kauppaa.

    Viime vuonna Raspberry Pi Ltd:n liikevaihto oli 265,8 miljoonaa puntaa. Voittoa se tuotti 38,2 miljoonaa puntaa. Osakkeen aloitusarvon mukaan yhtiön arvo on alkuvaiheessa reilut 600 miljoonaa euroa.

    Raspberry Pi on alusta asti ollut tarina sekä säätiöstä että yrityksestä. Raspberry Pi Foundation perustettiin vuonna 2008 voittoa tavoittelemattomaksi säätiöksi, jonka tarkoitus oli opettaa ja rohkaista englantilaisia koululaisia koodaamaan ja kehittämään. Yritys perustettiin vuonna 2012 säätiön omistamaksi kaupalliseksi tytäryhtiöksi.

    Raspberry Pi -kortin eri versioita on tämän vuoden alun lukujen mukaan myyty yhteensä yli 50 miljoonaa kappaletta.

    Raspberry Pi readies CM5 compute module
    https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/raspberry-pi-readies-cm5-compute-module/

    Early customers are testing the Raspberry Pi CM5 compute module.
    The Raspberry Pi CM5 uses the 16nm BCM2712 processor from Broadcom, a 2.4GHz quad-core 64bit ARM Cortex-A76 CPU with 512KB per-core L2 caches and a 2MB shared L3 cache. This gives twice the performance of the previous chip in the CM4 compute module.

    Details are still confidential, but the form factor is expected to be the same as the CM4 to update the performance in existing designs. However the electrical interface will be different as its supports a four lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, than the current one lane in the CM4, providing 16Gbit/s.
