Description
The Raspberry Pi 5 builds on the success of the Raspberry Pi 4. Compared to its predecessor, it offers a remarkable increase in CPU performance by 2 to 3 times and a significant improvement in GPU performance. Furthermore, significant progress has been made in camera quality, display, and USB interface.
These impressive interface improvements were achieved with the help of the RP1 I/O controller chip, developed internally by Raspberry Pi.
