Raspberry Pi 5: New Generation of the "Computer for Everything"
Featuring a 64-bit Quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, the Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a performance increase of 2 to 3 times compared to the Raspberry Pi 4!
The Raspberry Pi 5 brings an enormous list of new features and improvements, making it the best Raspberry Pi yet.
Increase CPU Performance by 2-3 Times
The new 64-bit Quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor at the heart of the Raspberry Pi 5 runs at 2.4GHz with encryption extensions, 512KB L2 caches per core, and a shared 2MB L3 cache.
Improvement in Graphic Performance with Dual 4Kp60 Output
The Raspberry Pi 5 provides a significant increase in graphic performance thanks to the 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU.
Enhanced I/O Capabilities, Including PCI-E
For the first time, this is a full-sized Raspberry Pi computer using silicon developed in-house at Raspberry Pi.
Dual Ports for Camera/Display (CSI/DSI)
The RP1 also offers a pair of MIPI transceivers with four lanes at 1.5Gbps.
Power Button (finally!)
Makers and enthusiasts have been asking for a built-in power button on the Raspberry Pi as long as we can remember!
Real-Time Clock (RTC)
A real-time clock (RTC) is integrated into the board.
Dedicated Fan Connector
The Raspberry Pi 5 includes a new dedicated fan connector.
Dedicated UART Connector
Another practical addition to the Raspberry Pi 5 is the dedicated UART connector.

FAQ
Will my existing HATs work with the Raspberry Pi 5? Yes, they should work.
Can I use a Raspberry Pi 4 case? No. The port layout has changed.
Can I use my existing CSI/DSI cable? No. The new connectors require new cables.
Can I use a Pi 4 MicroSD card? Not recommended. Use Raspberry Pi Imager.
