The Raspberry Pi 5 Is Here and we have a faster Cortex A76 2.4GHz CPU, A New VideoCore VII GPU up To 8GB of ram and Better iO. This Is The Fastest Raspberry Pi Ever!

Featuring a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a 2–3× increase in CPU performance relative to Raspberry Pi 4. Alongside a substantial uplift in graphics performance from an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU; dual 4Kp60 display output over HDMI! For the first time, this is a full-size Raspberry Pi computer using silicon built in-house at Raspberry Pi. The RP1 “southbridge” provides the bulk of the I/O capabilities for Raspberry Pi 5.

F ETA Prime. Used to watch his stuff, but his shit is sooo bloody vacuous and shallow these days. OFC it's the fastest Pi ever.

 

[EviLore]

Will it be produced in sufficient quantities?

 

[existensmaximum]

Well of course it's the fastest one so far. Be kind of pointless otherwise?

 

[Schmendrick]

Seems perfect as an OMV machine with the connectivity upgrades.

I feel the same way. Problaby too much sponsored shit and he stopped to care

I look forward to this being out of stock every time I look it up.

 

[cyberheater]

Could be the perfect retro emulation machine.

 

[ReBurn]

Will it be produced in sufficient quantities?

Probably, but they'll probably prioritize commercial buyers again over hobbyists and that's going to annoy me because I want like 5 of them.

 

[Unknown?]

Pi-Hole time!!

 

[UnNamed]

20W/16nm doesn't seem a good idea, but I think they did it to avoid shortages like Pi4.

I would like to know how the Raspberry Pi 5 compares to the Fire TV Cube 3rd generation. Although there's a benchmark of the latter on AFTnews.com, without knowing which version of Geebbench they've been using it cannot be done.

Therefore: Does anybody know which Geekbench-version they've been using in it and how it compares to the Raspberry Pi 5?

For anyone interested in the technical side of all the changes in the new Raspberry Pi 5 this is an interview discussing everything, that was a good read from this transcript of the video.

James Adams and Eben Upton on designing Raspberry Pi 5 - Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 5 is here, and it's been years in the making. James Adams sat down with Eben to talk board architecture, design process, and more

www.raspberrypi.com

In the discussion they say they use Javascript JetStream 1.1 benchmark with the new Pi 5 coming in around 130-150 score. my AMD 6 Core laptop is only about 350 score (in performance mode) as an idea of how it measures up for general web browsing.

A big improvement in the Pi 5 is that the IO and memory speed have improved massively, so where using an 8GB RPi 4 and using 4GBs for a RAM drive yields no real improvement for Minecraft serving, the RPi 5 looks like it might get use out of more memory, and be able to do RAID0 from two SSDs from the info in the interview IMO, and or take an NVME m2 PCIe adapter for an Gen 2/Gen 3 nvme ssd.
