Description
The Raspberry Pi has sold millions of units worldwide since its first release in early 2012 and is still extremely popular. Many Raspberry Pi users not only have one single-board computer at home, but sometimes 4-5 of them.
One functions as an HD media player with external hard disk for the home cinema or as an Internet radio with display, the next as a webcam server for camera surveillance with live streaming to the cell phone, then another for home automation such as heating or lighting control and yet another as a simple WLAN printer server or as a mini-computer for general Internet surfing, to name just a few application scenarios.
As you can see, the little ''jack-of-all-trades'' can not only do a lot, but is also extremely inexpensive and that's what makes it so attractive. All you need to bring along is a penchant for programming and not even that, because you can also simply program it according to instructions from forums or books, or simply install a ready-made image on the Raspberry Pi - go for it!
What are the differences between a Raspberry Pi 4 B and a Raspberry Pi 5 B?
Old Raspberry Pi 4 B
- 1.5 GHz ARM Cortex-A72 quad-core CPU
- VideoCore VI GPU
- 2x microHDMI (1x 4k @60fps or 2x 4k @30fps)
- 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB LPDDR4 SDRAM
- 2x USB 3.0
- 2x MIPI (1x DSI / 1x CSI)
- USB Type-C @ 5V/3A
New Raspberry Pi 5 B- 2.4 GHz ARM Cortex-A76 quad-core CPU (2-3x faster than its predecessor)
- VideoCore VII GPU
- 2x microHDMI (2x 4k @60fps)
- 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB or 16 GB LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM
- 2x USB 3.0 with up to 5 Gb/s
- 2x MIPI (2x DSI/CSI)
- USB Type-C @ 5V/5A
- additionally:
- PCIe 2.0 x1 interface (e.g. for SSD M.2 memory)
- Power button
- RTC battery connection
- extra UART connection
- Extra fan connection
Further features- Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2.4 GHz / 5.0 GHz)
- Bluetooth 5.0 / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
- MicroSD card reader with high-speed SDR104 support
- 2× USB 3.0 / 2× USB 2.0
- LAN 10/100/1000 Mbit/s with PoE+ support (requires PoE+ HAT)
The following 3 variants are currently available- Raspberry Pi 5 B 2GB with 2 GB RAM (ArtNo.: RASP PI 5 B 2GB)
- Raspberry Pi 5 B 4GB with 4 GB RAM (ArtNo.: RASP PI 5 B 4GB)
- Raspberry Pi 5 B 8GB with 8 GB RAM (ArtNo.: RASP PI 5 B 8GB)
- Raspberry Pi 5 B 16GB with 16 GB RAM (ArtNo.: RASP PI 5 B 16GB)
ATTENTIONDue to the new arrangement of the LAN port and USB port as well as other changes to the connections, new housings are required. Otherwise, existing accessories (except for the Raspberry Pi PoE HAT) are fully compatible...
