Raspberry Pi 5 1GB Single-Board Computer

The Raspberry Pi 5 1GB is a single-board computer from Raspberry Pi based on the Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor at 2.4GHz, delivering 2–3× the CPU performance of Raspberry Pi 4. The 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU drives two 4Kp60 HDMI displays, while the in-house RP1 I/O controller provides faster USB 3.0, two 4-lane MIPI interfaces for cameras or displays, and, for the first time on a Raspberry Pi board, a PCIe 2.0 interface. The 1GB version, launched in December 2025, is the most affordable way into the Raspberry Pi 5 platform.

Key Features

  • Performance: quad-core Cortex-A76 64-bit at 2.4GHz
  • Graphics: VideoCore VII, dual 4Kp60 HDMI with HDR
  • RP1 I/O controller: faster USB 3.0 and peripheral performance
  • PCIe 2.0 x1: for NVMe SSDs and fast peripherals via an M.2 HAT
  • MIPI: two 4-lane camera/display connectors, any combination of two cameras or displays
  • Extras: real-time clock, on-board power button, faster SDR104 microSD
  • Connectivity: dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+ support

Where It Is Used

  • Embedded controllers and maker projects
  • Learning programming and Linux
  • IoT gateways and light network services
  • Camera and computer vision projects with two MIPI cameras
  • Robotics, school labs and prototyping

Package Contents

  • 1 × Raspberry Pi 5 1GB board

The board is supplied on its own. A 5V/5A USB-C power supply, a microSD card, a micro HDMI to HDMI cable, a case and a cooler are sold separately.

Usage Tips

  • Use the official Raspberry Pi 27W USB-C power supply (5V/5A) for full USB peripheral current.
  • Add the official Active Cooler or a case with a fan for sustained loads.
  • Use an A2-class microSD card, or an NVMe SSD via an M.2 HAT, for faster boot and storage.
  • Raspberry Pi 4 cases do not fit Raspberry Pi 5; choose a Pi 5 case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which operating system do I need?
Raspberry Pi 5 requires a current release of Raspberry Pi OS. Older images made for previous boards will not boot. Use Raspberry Pi Imager to write the latest version.

Will my Raspberry Pi 4 power supply work?
It will boot, but with a 3A supply USB peripheral current is limited. A quality 5V/5A USB-C supply such as the official 27W Raspberry Pi power supply is recommended.

Does it fit a Raspberry Pi 4 case?
No. The layout of Raspberry Pi 5 is different, so you need a case designed for Raspberry Pi 5.

Does the Raspberry Pi 5 need active cooling?
Like most general-purpose computers, it performs best with active cooling. The official Active Cooler or the official case with a built-in fan are good options.

Does it have an audio output?
There is no 3.5mm audio jack. Audio is available through HDMI, a USB sound card or an audio HAT.

Is 1GB of RAM enough?
1GB is enough for controllers, maker projects, headless services and coding exercises. For everyday desktop use, choose 4GB or more.
