The Raspberry Pi 5 is a high-performance single-board computer featuring a 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, a VideoCore VII GPU, and up to 16GB of LPDDR4X RAM, offering a significant performance boost over previous models. Key features include dual 4Kp60 HDMI output, a PCIe 2.0 interface for high-speed peripherals, and a new RP1 "southbridge" chip that provides enhanced I/O performance, faster USB speeds, and improved camera/display connectivity. It also includes built-in real-time clock (RTC) and a dedicated fan header for better cooling.
