Raspberry Pi 5/16GB

Raspberry Pi 5 16GB - SC1113 - The everything computer. Now with 16GB!

The Raspberry Pi 5 16GB packs a quad-core 2.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A76 CPU and VideoCore VII GPU for up to dual 4Kp60 output. A first-ever PCIe 2.0 x1 interface, doubled USB and SD bandwidth, and re-engineered MIPI lanes unlock faster storage, displays, and cameras.

Powered by the RP1 southbridge, it runs smoother as both a desktop replacement and an embedded controller. Now with redesigned camera and display connectors for higher bandwidth, the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB is engineered for next-gen projects in media, AI, and control systems.

Key Upgrades 

• Quad-core 2.4 GHz Arm Cortex-A76 CPU - up to 3× faster than Pi 4

FAQ

Will older versions of Raspberry Pi OS work with Raspberry Pi 5?
You will need the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, Bookworm, for your Raspberry Pi 5.  

Will my Raspberry Pi 4 power supply work with Raspberry Pi 5?
Raspberry Pi 5 is a higher-performance computer than Raspberry Pi 4, and you may have problems using an underpowered supply. We recommend a high-quality 5V 5A USB-C power supply.  

Will my Raspberry Pi 5 fit my Raspberry Pi 4 case?
Raspberry Pi 5 won't fit the Raspberry Pi 4 Case. We recommend a Raspberry Pi Case for Raspberry Pi 5, designed to help you get the most out of our newest computer.  

Does Raspberry Pi 5 need active cooling?
Raspberry Pi 5 is faster and more powerful than prior-generation Raspberry Pis, and like most general-purpose computers, it will perform best with active cooling. The Raspberry Pi Case for Raspberry Pi 5, with its integrated fan, is one way to provide this.
