The Raspberry Pi 5 has been officially launched. And, according to the announcement from Eben Upton, “virtually every aspect of the platform has been upgraded, delivering a no-compromises user experience.”
The new model, which features a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, is more than twice as fast as its predecessor. Other features include:
- A substantial uplift in graphics performance from an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU
- Dual 4Kp60 display output over HDMI
- State-of-the-art camera support from a re-architected Raspberry Pi image signal processor
According to the product brief, this model “provides a smooth desktop experience for consumers and opens the door to new applications for industrial customers.”
The Raspberry Pi 5 is priced at $60 for the 4GB variant and $80 for the 8GB model (plus tax). It is available for preorder now with shipments expected to begin in late October.
