Details

Raspberry Pi 5 model is the latest release of Raspberry Pi range.

In comparison with its predecessor, it comes with a faster 2.4GHz Broadcom BCM2712, ARM Cortex-A76 CPU and VideoCore VII GPU supporting OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.2 and better heat dissipation.

There is significant improvement to camera, display, and USB interfacing also. The power-management IC used on Raspberry Pi 5 integrates a real-time clock, and charging circuitry for a button cell which can power the clock while main power is disconnected.

Raspberry Pi 5 provides two four-lane MIPI connectors, each of which can support either a camera or a display. These interfacing improvements are delivered by the RP1 I/O controller chip.

For the first time, we have Raspberry Pi silicon on a flagship product! The Raspberry Pi 5 is versatile and powerful single board computer that could be used for wide range of applications like DIY projects, educational tool, media center, server, desktop computer and many more IOT application.

Difficult to justifying now you can get n100 mini pc’s with 16gb ram / 512gb. Once you add psu case to this price and a hat to house a m.2 your not far off a mini pc (edited)

As always, it depends what your project is.

still overpriced. should be £35 like they originally were intended to be.
11th Mar
Well - I think that these are way more powerful than the old £35 models. You've still got the option of buying something for £35 - thepihut.com/pro…l-b

I've just bought this yesterday for same price on Amazon.. Not set it up yet.. Do I need a ft card with emulators games on for this specific model or will any ft memory card with games on work with this? Thanks in advance guys if you can help..

Ah, missed that. Cheapest appears to be £66.80 on Amazon now.

A microSD card is required to run both the OS and any applications. Depending on what you want to run, your best going for a minimum of 8gb.

As discussed, N100 PC's definitely offer more oomph for your money and needs. I can vouch for the Pi5 though, been using one as my daily driver running Ubuntu for the past 2 months and it's been absolutely useable for this use case.

I know you can run the graphical interface with Raspberry Pi but for me not the right use case if I can be honest. For me the perfect use case are little projects which you can run all on the command line such as garden sprinkler system, CCTV , wildlife cameras etc. but of course it’s all down to the user. For me its an education device rather than a computer replacement.

Nice! But why am I so tempted to buy this? I have a Pi 3B and a 400, both of which I'm using - but no need for a third. My hand keeps sneaking over to the "Get deal" button regardless. It's already taken my credit card out of my wallet. I don't think I'm in control

Pointless when you can get cheap PC's off ebay. Lack of hardware video decoding.
Unless you need GPIOs I don't see why anybody would buy these. (edited)

A Pi ins not an Intel PC, it does a lot more stuff than that. It's not just about video playback.

Personally I like working with ARM devices rather than Intel. If I need an Intel PC I already have those.

Had every version other than the 5, sold them all (except one Zero 2) and replaced with a NUC. They've lost their way since moving board production to for profit company.

I will stop buying new Raspberry Pi’s for now, bought 1,2,3 and 4 and the latter one has the power I need so no upgrade needed. (edited)

8gb model available for an extra £19, I am tempted but also have 4 and not sure if they are worth more having a complete set

Thanks! Using this as a mod for an Arcade (1up)

Dont forget to factor in a heatsink at around £8 and the offical 5A psu for another £8. You need them both.
11th Mar
If you get the case you don't need the active heatsink, or you can use a smaller passive heatsink depending on workload. If you are not going to hang stuff on the USB with power budget from the PI then older Pi PSU or other USB PSU will work.

Great device. Have tried it for few months. But gave in for a N100 mini PC as it can be used for many things including as a side PC for browsing, dual boot Win/Linux and what not.

I literally have no idea what anyone’s talking about, but they have a cute name 🍇 🥧

£62.99 now?

Hi geeks, I'm looking for a started thingy for my 10 year old daughter. I've been told to not Rasberry Pi. what's the difference between this and the one posted few weeks back. Any help would be appreciated x
12th Mar
What is the goal?

I have a pi3 running Retropie with a 32GB card of all sorts of retro games. Downloaded the full SD image from newsgroups many years ago. Retropie is amazing.

I think for those wanting to just run an emulator, the pi 5 is overpowered. SD card for me is ideal as i keep an image of the SD card and pull it out whenever i want to restore the SD card for whatever reason.
12th Mar
out of interest, up to what system can you play on that? ps1? I presume ps2 is out of reach
