Description
Discover unparalleled computing prowess with the Raspberry Pi 5 - 8GB model, the newest iteration in the groundbreaking Raspberry Pi single-board computer series. Engineered by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, this innovative device sets new standards for performance and versatility in the single-board computer arena.
With its 2.4GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 CPU, the 8GB Raspberry Pi 5 model offers an astonishing leap in processing power, making it up to 3x faster than its predecessors. It’s an excellent choice for a wide range of Raspberry Pi projects including IoT, home automation, and Raspberry Pi Python programming.
The device is also the first to incorporate custom-designed silicon with its RP1 "Southbridge" I/O controller, significantly boosting peripheral performance. USB 3.0 ports provide a more than 2x increase in total USB bandwidth, and the all-new single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface allows for the connection of higher-bandwidth peripherals.
We offer a plethora of Raspberry Pi tutorials and a comprehensive Raspberry Pi workshop for beginners to get you started on your Raspberry Pi journey.
