The Raspberry Pi 5 Is Here, And It Comes With Some Huge Improvements
ZDNET, Thursday, September 28,2023
More than double the CPU performance and a whole raft of other features and improvements make this an exciting release.
Surprise! Details of the Raspberry Pi 5 are out, and while you can't get your hands on a board just yet, you can bask in the new features and improvements.
At the top of them is a new chip, designed in‑house in Cambridge, UK.
The Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 processor is three generations ahead of the one used in the Raspberry Pi 4, and is not only faster than the old chip -- between two and three times faster -- but it also consumes less power, which in turn should mean it runs cooler.
