Raspberry Pi 5 8GB Single Board Computer (XC9108)

More Power. More Speed. More Possibilities. The Raspberry Pi 5 8GB represents the biggest performance leap in Raspberry Pi history, delivering desktop-class capability in a compact and affordable single-board computer. Powered by a blazing fast 2.4GHz Quad-Core ARM Cortex-A76 processor, the Raspberry Pi 5 offers up to three times the processing performance of the Raspberry Pi 4, making it ideal for demanding projects ranging from home automation and AI applications to media servers, industrial control systems and software development. Equipped with 8GB of RAM, the Pi 5 handles multitasking with ease and provides plenty of headroom for larger applications, containers, databases and development environments. For the first time, Raspberry Pi introduces its custom RP1 I/O controller, dramatically improving USB, networking and peripheral performance. Dual USB 3.0 ports provide more than double the bandwidth of previous generations, while the addition of a PCIe 2.0 interface opens the door to high-speed storage, networking cards and expansion hardware previously unavailable on Raspberry Pi platforms. Graphics performance receives a substantial upgrade thanks to the new VideoCore VII GPU, delivering up to 2.5x faster graphics performance compared to the Raspberry Pi 4 and supporting smooth 4K video playback at 60Hz with hardware HEVC decoding. Whether you're building a smart home, running a lightweight server, developing robotics projects or learning programming, the Raspberry Pi 5 provides the performance and flexibility to bring your ideas to life.
