Raspberry Pi 5 8GB - SC1112 The Raspberry Pi 5 8GB board features a quad-core 2.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A76 CPU and an 800 MHz VideoCore VII GPU, capable of driving dual 4Kp60 displays. Key specs include a PCIe 2.0 x1 interface, doubled USB and SD card bandwidth, and re-engineered MIPI lanes for faster storage, displays, and cameras. Powered by the RP1 southbridge, the Pi 5 with 8GB RAM runs smoothly as both a desktop replacement and an embedded controller. Redesigned camera and display connectors provide higher bandwidth, making this board ready for next-generation projects in AI, automation, and high-resolution media. Need more RAM?⚡RPi 5 with 16GB is now available. CAUTION: Raspberry Pi 5 requires new camera cables and display cables. Key Upgrades Quad-core 2.4 GHz Arm Cortex-A76 CPU - up to 3× faster than Pi 4 800 MHz VideoCore VII GPU - dual 4Kp60 HDMI output New image signal processor - sharper camera performance RP1 I/O controller - USB 3.2, doubled SD speeds (SDR104) High-bandwidth MIPI lanes - supports two cameras or two displays PCIe 2.0 lane - expand with high-speed peripherals Specifications Broadcom BCM2712 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU, with cryptography extensions, 512KB per-core L2 caches and a 2MB shared L3 cache VideoCore VII GPU, supporting OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.2 Dual 4Kp60 HDMI® display output with HDR support 4Kp60 HEVC decoder LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM 8GB Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi® Bluetooth 5.0 / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) microSD card slot, with support for high-speed SDR104 mode 2 × USB 3.0 ports, supporting simultaneous 5Gbps operation 2 × USB 2.0 ports Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE support (requires separate PoE HAT) 2 × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceivers PCIe 2.0 x1 interface for fast peripherals (requires separate M.2 HAT or other adapter) 5V/5A DC power via USB-C, with Power Delivery support Raspberry Pi standard 40-pin header Real-time clock (RTC), powered from an external battery Power button Resources Product brief Pi 5 mechanical drawing Getting started documentation RP1 peripherals documentation FAQ Will older versions of Raspberry Pi OS work with Raspberry Pi 5?No, it requires the latest Raspberry Pi OS. Older software like Raspbian or NOOBS isn’t supported, so you’ll need to flash a fresh SD card with the current version before booting up. Will my power supply for Pi 4 work with the Pi 5 board?This board draws more power than the Raspberry Pi 4, and an underpowered supply can cause issues. We recommend a high-quality 5V 5A USB-C power supply. Does Raspberry Pi 5 need active cooling?This new Pi 5 is faster and more powerful than prior-generation boards, and like all computers, it will perform best with active cooling. The official Pi5 Case, with its integrated fan, is one option. For configurations with a HAT, we recommend our HighPi Pro 5S Case with the Active Cooler.
