Raspberry Pi 5 16GB development board

The Raspberry Pi 5 16GB is a single-board computer built around a Broadcom BCM2712 system-on-chip. It targets makers, educators and embedded engineers who need a compact Linux platform with desktop-class responsiveness. The 64-bit quad-core Cortex-A76 processor runs at 2.4GHz and includes cryptography extensions for accelerated security workloads.

Memory capacity and headroom

Sixteen gigabytes of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM provide ample headroom for multi-tab browsing, container workloads and memory-heavy data-processing scripts. The shared 2MB L3 cache and 512KB per-core L2 caches keep the cores fed during sustained compute tasks. Very large in-memory databases or heavy virtualisation clusters will eventually exhaust the available RAM.

Build quality and daily connectivity

The board integrates dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless peripheral and network links without extra dongles. Dual 4Kp60 HDMI outputs with HDR support drive two high-resolution displays directly from the VideoCore VII GPU. The RP1 southbridge doubles aggregate USB bandwidth, so external UAS storage and high-speed peripherals transfer data noticeably faster than on earlier models.

Questions about this item

Will the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB board fit into the same case I use for my older Pi model?

The board uses a new RP1 southbridge and revised I/O layout, so existing cases for earlier full-size Raspberry Pi computers will not fit without modification.

How can I verify the 2.4GHz quad-core Cortex-A76 CPU and 16GB LPDDR4X memory are detected correctly after first boot?

Run `lscpu` to confirm four Cortex-A76 cores at 2.4GHz and `free -h` to show approximately 16GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM available to the system.

Does the box include a power supply, microSD card or heatsink, or must I buy them separately?

The board is supplied alone; a 5V/5A USB-C power supply, microSD card for the OS and any cooling solution must be purchased separately.
