The next iteration of the Raspberry Pi single board computer featuring a 64-bit quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor running at 2.4GHz, Raspberry Pi 5 delivers a 2–3× increase in CPU performance relative to Raspberry Pi 4. Alongside a substantial uplift in graphics performance from an 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU; dual 4Kp60 display output over HDMI; and state-of-the-art camera support from a rearchitected Raspberry Pi Image Signal Processor, it provides a smooth desktop experience for consumers, and opens the door to new applications for industrial customers.
For the first time, this is a full-size Raspberry Pi computer using silicon built in-house at Raspberry Pi. The RP1 “southbridge” provides the bulk of the I/O capabilities for Raspberry Pi 5, and delivers a step change in peripheral performance and functionality. Aggregate USB bandwidth is more than doubled, yielding faster transfer speeds to external UAS drives and other high-speed peripherals; the dedicated two-lane 1Gbps MIPI camera and display interfaces present on earlier models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling total bandwidth, and supporting any combination of up to two cameras or displays; peak SD card performance is doubled, through support for the SDR104 high-speed mode; and for the first time the platform exposes a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface, providing support for high-bandwidth peripherals.
This module features 4GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM.

4.8 out of 5
Based on 5 ratings:
Great update to my outdated 3B
Much faster, super easy to set up. In use currently as a Plex server. Added on an official case and 27W power cord. Everything works together perfectly.
This is a nice upgrade over the RPi 4
Much faster than previous devices with the support and consistency of the Raspberry Pi ecosystem.
Fantastic Value
I have a Pi 3 also but have never built anything of substance with it. One of my Pi 5's, however, ia already in use. I built a NAS and Plex server with it and it is doing an excellent job. The only complaint is that the NVME capabilities can be a bit of a challenge. I now have a bottom adapter that works and a NVME card that works as a drive. Still working on getting it to actually boot off the NVME which has been a challenge.
Nice improvements over the Pi4
Besides the usual speed bump with each Pi generation, I love the power button, and the much faster SD card interface. Storage speed was always a pain point, and this revision helps with that a lot, even without adding external PCIe storage.
It does get very hot though. It really wants a serious heat sink case, even if you're not pushing it too hard. I'm hoping for cooler, increased efficiency in the next round.
Works great with pcie hat and ssd drive
It would be nice to get an update on the status of backorders from October.
