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 the USB interface.
These impressive interface improvements were realized using the RP1 I/O controller chip, which was developed internally by Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi 5 Accessories
For the Raspberry Pi 5, we recommend the following accessories:
- The official case with an integrated fan, whose speed adjusts according to temperature. The fan is extremely quiet and powerful.
- The Active Cooler heatsink, including a controlled fan, ensures that the Raspberry Pi 5 stays cool.
- RTC battery (rechargeable) maintains the real-time clock of the Raspberry Pi 5.
