The Raspberry Pi 5 also provides a new PCIe 2.0 breakout for future add-ons such as the M.2 HAT.

Using new mounting holes the cooler connects to the SoC, Wi-Fi, and RP1 chip to keep them cool using a heatsink and fan assembly. Luckily, the Raspberry Pi team offers an optional active cooler designed solely for the Raspberry Pi 5. Sure, you can run it without cooling, but thermal throttling will soon slow you down. The reason for this is SDR104, which effectively doubles the micro SD card speeds.Īll that power means there is heat, and the Raspberry Pi 5 does run a little warm. With the Pi 5, we saw micro SD card speeds that approached the USB 3 SSD speeds of the Raspberry Pi 4. Compared to the 1.8 GHz CPU of the Raspberry Pi 4, the Pi 5 has a quad-core 2.4 GHz (that we have overclocked to 3 GHz), and the new RP1 southbridge offers an incredible speed boost for USB and Micro SD cards. The Raspberry Pi 5 offers a massive computational speed boost. We reviewed the Raspberry Pi 5 ahead of its launch and noticed its striking resemblance to both the Raspberry Pi 4 and the older 3.
