The Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest version of the popular single-board computer. It will be released in October 2023, and it is a significant upgrade over the previous model, the Raspberry Pi 4. It features a number of improvements over the previous model. It comes with a new RP1 chip designed by Raspberry PI. It has two built-in USB 3 Controllers for full 5-gigabit bandwidth to each of these blue ports, then it has two USB 2 controllers, one for each of these black ports, gigabit ethernet, and control over all the GPIO pins.

PI5 is a new system on a chip which is a broadcom BCM 2712 that contains four arm cortex a76 cores clocked at 2.4GHz which Raspberry PI claimed to deliver a two to three times performance increase relative to a PI4. The s so also contains a new video core 7GPU clocked at 800MHz. This supports OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2 and has a new Raspberry Pi image signal processor for improved camera support. To keep the BCN2712 cool, there is an active cooler with a heat sink having a temperature control fan and mount on the PI5 using a push pin.

Networking hardware is nearly identical to the PI 4, but the Wi-Fi speed is doubled and the RP1 adds wired Ethernet features like PTP supports.

There is a new PMIC(power management chip). It has a built-in real-time clock so It can keep time just like a real computer. It measures power consumption. This board has so much new I/0 compatibility. It really needed a power upgrade. 25-watt can pump into the PI 5.
