- Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE+ support (requires separate PoE+ HAT, coming soon)
- 2 × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceivers
- PCIe 2.0 x1 interface for fast peripherals
- Raspberry Pi standard 40-pin GPIO header
- Real-time clock
- Power button
Raspberry Pi founder Eben Upton states:
Priced at $60 for the 4GB variant, and $80 for its 8GB sibling (plus your local taxes), virtually every aspect of the platform has been upgraded, delivering a no-compromises user experience. Raspberry Pi 5 comes with new features, it’s over twice as fast as its predecessor, and it’s the first Raspberry Pi computer to feature silicon designed in‑house here in Cambridge, UK.
According to Raspberry Pi, subscribers of The MagPi or HackSpace Magazine will get “Priority Boarding” for obtaining a Pi 5. With Priority Boarding, one can pre-order a Raspberry Pi 5 (4 GB or 8 GB) and it’ll get sent out at the front of the shipping queue. Raspberry Pi states boards will ship in late October 2023.
Authorized resellers have their own policies. Adafruit has signups for Pi 5 boards and accessories at adafruit.com/new (note this is not preorder).
