Raspberry Pi 5 Single Board Computer, Now Orderable from Mouser, Delivers Significant Speed Improvements Over Previous Generations
October 9, 2023 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now offering the highly anticipated Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer from Raspberry Pi. Building on the success of the Raspberry Pi 4, the Pi 5 single board computer (SBC) delivers a 2x – 3x increase in CPU performance, a significant uplift in GPU performance, and noticeable improvements to display, camera, and USB interfacing. The Pi 5 SBC offers an affordable, easy-to-use solution for applications including home automation, industrial automation, edge computing, robotics, and surveillance.
The Raspberry Raspberry Pi 5 Single Board Computer, now available for order at Mouser, is the first full-size Raspberry Pi computer to be built with silicon developed in-house. The RP1 I/O controller chip supports improved interfacing, as well as faster transfer speeds to external USB-attached SCSI (UAS) drives and other high-speed peripherals. The new high-performance SBC is based on the Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Arm® Cortex®-A76, 64-bit system-on-chip (SoC) at 2.4 GHz. The Pi 5 SBC includes a MicroSD card slot with support for high-speed SDR104 mode, as well as a high-speed single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, offering support for high-bandwidth peripherals. The SBC features two USB 3.0 ports supporting simultaneous 5 Gbps operation, in addition to two USB 2.0 ports. The Pi 5 also includes a VideoCore VII GPU supporting OpenGL ES3.1, with a Dual 4Kp60 HDMI display output with HDR support. Two four-lane 1.5 Gbps MIPI transceivers enable users to connect up to two cameras or displays.
The Pi 5 is offered in 4 GB and 8 GB variants and features Bluetooth® 5.0 with Bluetooth Low Energy, dual-band Wi-Fi®, and Gigabit Ethernet, providing users with the flexibility to choose between wired and wireless connectivity. The Pi 5 also extends support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling it to be powered via Ethernet alongside a USB Type-C™ port for alternative power sources.
