Welcome to the cutting-edge Raspberry Pi 5 Model 4GB RAM, the latest generation of this iconic computing marvel. Packed with a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor clocked at 2.4GHz, the Raspberry Pi 5 boasts an impressive 2–3× increase in CPU performance compared to its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 4.

Not stopping there, it delivers a substantial boost in graphics power thanks to its 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU, supports dual 4Kp60 display output via HDMI, and offers state-of-the-art camera capabilities courtesy of a reimagined Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor. It promises a seamless desktop experience for consumers and opens new horizons for industrial applications.

Take a moment to explore the upgrades introduced by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in this brand-new generation of the Raspberry Pi 5 Model 4GB pocket computer. Building upon the significant hardware enhancements of the Pi 4, the Pi 5 comes equipped with a host of hardware and software improvements outlined below.

Product features

4GB LPDDR4X-4267 RAM: The "sweet spot" memory capacity that balances performance and cost. It provides plenty of headroom for daily desktop computing, hosting active media servers, multi-track audio production, and running dozens of browser tabs smoothly.

Broadcom BCM2712 Processor: Powered by a 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU with cryptography extensions, delivering a massive $2\times$ to $3\times$ processing performance jump over the Raspberry Pi 4.

Dual 4Kp60 Video Output: Equipped with an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU supporting OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2, capable of pushing dual 4K resolution displays simultaneously at 60Hz with HDR.

Next-Gen I/O & Speed Expansion: Includes a single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface for blazing-fast NVMe SSD storage connections, an upgraded high-speed microSD card slot (SDR104), and doubled USB 3.0 bandwidth (5Gbps).

Smart Convenience: Features an integrated dedicated on/off power button, a built-in Real-Time Clock (RTC) connection, and a dedicated PWM fan header.

Materials and care

PCB Composition: Built on a premium, high-density multi-layer FR4 printed circuit board with gold-plated contact points for optimal conductivity and structural longevity.

Static Handling Precautions: Highly sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Always ground yourself or use an anti-static wrist strap, and handle the board strictly by its outer edges when powered or exposed.

Thermal Management: The high-performance BCM2712 SoC runs warm under load. An active cooler, heatsink, or fan-assisted enclosure is highly recommended to prevent thermal throttling during demanding tasks.

Environmental Limits: Intended for deployment in clean, dry environments. Avoid contact with moisture, conductive dust, or liquids. Safe operating temperature range is between 0°C and 70°C.

Merchandising tips

Power Supply Requirement: Standard 5V USB-C chargers will limit performance. It is highly recommended to pair this board with the Official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C PD Power Supply to deliver the 5V / 5A required for full downstream USB and PCIe functionality.

Perfect Mid-Tier Solution: Position this 4GB model as the ideal all-rounder for general-purpose computing, retro gaming (such as high-end GameCube emulation), and maker projects that don't quite require the heavy virtualization power of the 8GB or 16GB models.

New Cable Standards: Note that the camera and display interfaces have been updated to a smaller, denser format. Customers will need dedicated Raspberry Pi 5 Camera/Display Adapter Cables to connect older Pi camera modules or official touchscreens.

Enclosure Compatibility: Because the Ethernet/USB port layout has swapped and new connectors have been added, this board will not fit Raspberry Pi 4 cases. Ensure you bundle this with a compatible Raspberry Pi 5 Case.
