Raspberry Pi 5 Benchmarks: Significantly Better Performance, Improved I/O (www.phoronix.com)

Four years after the Raspberry Pi 4 shipped, today the Raspberry Pi 5 is launching with a much improved SoC leading to significant performance gains.

The Raspberry Pi 5 is designed to deliver a 2~3x performance improvement over the Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 5 features a quad-core Cortex-A76 processor that clocks up to 2.4GHz, compared to the four Cortex-A72 cores found in the Raspberry Pi 4 that only clocked up to 1.8GHz. The graphics are also much-improved with now having an 800MHz VideoCore VII graphics processor over the VideoCore VI graphics with the Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 5 is capable of driving two 4K @ 60Hz displays and features 4K @ 60 HEVC decode hardware capabilities.

Also interesting with the Raspberry Pi 5 is that it features in-house silicon in the form of the RP1 "southbridge" used for much of the board's I/O capabilities. This southbridge should yield faster USB I/O along with other I/O bandwidth upgrades like a doubling of the peak SD card performance. The Raspberry Pi 5 also features a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface for improved connectivity.

I would love to upgrade my few 3b+ units, if you could actually buy this. It'll likely be out of stock for eternity, just like the 4 was

not to judge, but buying 3 billion+ raspberry pis seems like a lot!

Yes, it is I, the CEO of Broadcom

In the Czech Republic it will be available on 27/10 and I already preordered 2 units with 100% guarantee of delivery next day of release through 3rd party reseller who has big reputation in our country considering Raspberry Pi stuff.

It's 100$ for 8GB but you cannot buy it cheaper in our country and when I order it from official store I have to pay 21% tax + custom fee up to 15% + burocracy fee 5%, while filling dozens of forms and waiting endlessly for package to arrive and go through burocracy roller coaster. Fck that..

Where are you from and how much do you pay for it?

Ok, the amount of Pi's 5 for guaranteed delivery next day is sold out, but I'm in (first batch gone in 6 hours). 🙆‍♂️ The other's will receive Pi's until Christmas. The mania has begun.

Edit: I'm not even sure what I'll do with them I have zero (pi hole), zero 2w (ps4 jailbreak), 2gb 3b (with touch display and kali), 4gb 4b (6tb nas for movies and shows) so I need 8gb 5. 😅 Finding the use for it is the last problem. 😅

Dammit, is that why all the preorder resellers wouldn’t take my preorder!

You can buy a 4 today..... they were out of stock for so long because of the pandemic
