Featuring a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a 2–3x increase in CPU performance compared to Raspberry Pi 4! Raspberry Pi 5 also brings an extensive list of great new features and improvements, making it the best Raspberry Pi yet!
Welcome to the newest generation of Raspberry Pi: the computer for everyone.
2–3x CPU Performance Increase
At the heart of Raspberry Pi 5 is a new 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor, running at 2.4GHz with cryptographic extensions, 512KB of L2 cache per core, and a shared 2MB L3 cache.
This new Broadcom BCM2712 SoC (System-on-Chip) delivers a 2–3x performance boost over the previous generation Raspberry Pi!
Improved Graphics Performance with Dual 4Kp60 Display Output
Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a significant uplift in graphics performance thanks to the 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU connected to BCM2712 via PCI Express.
This enables Raspberry Pi 5 to provide full dual 4Kp60 display output via micro HDMI. These performance improvements deliver a smooth desktop experience while browsing the web and streaming video.
Enhanced I/O Capabilities Including PCIe!
For the first time, this is a full-sized Raspberry Pi computer that uses Raspberry Pi’s own in-house silicon.
The RP1 “southbridge” provides much of the I/O capability for Raspberry Pi 5 and delivers a step change in peripheral performance and functionality.
Dual Camera/Display (CSI/DSI) Connectors Included!
RP1 also provides a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling total bandwidth and enabling new dual CSI/DSI connectors that support any combination of up to two cameras or displays.
Combined with image performance improvements from the redesigned Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor (ISP), this opens up new project opportunities and major improvements for those using Raspberry Pi 5 in commercial and industrial applications.

Power Button
Makers and enthusiasts have wanted a dedicated onboard power button on Raspberry Pi for as long as we can remember — and Raspberry Pi 5 finally delivers this much-requested convenience!

Real-Time Clock (RTC)
An onboard real-time clock (RTC) lets you keep time/date information even when powered off or not connected to the internet (when a backup battery is connected).
A dedicated connector has been added to the board to allow use of a backup battery for the RTC (battery sold separately). A compatible lithium battery with the matching connector will be available for purchase after or shortly after the launch of Raspberry Pi 5.
Dedicated Fan Header
Raspberry Pi 5 includes a new dedicated fan header to the right of the familiar GPIO header, letting you connect and run a cooling fan without interfering with your GPIO-connected devices. You can now add HATs and other hardware without needing workarounds to connect a fan.
The official Raspberry Pi 5 case and Active Cooler use a JST connector for this dedicated header.
Dedicated UART Header
Another useful addition on Raspberry Pi 5 is the dedicated UART header. You can now debug and control your Raspberry Pi 5 without interfering with your GPIO pins.
This dedicated UART header also enables pre-boot debugging and is designed for use with the Raspberry Pi Debug Probe for fast, convenient debugging.
