Raspberry Pi 5 with 4GB or 8GB RAM

A powerful mini computer for bringing ambitious projects to reality.

Launched in October 2023, the Raspberry Pi 5 delivers substantially better performance than earlier Raspberry Pi generations. Equipped with a 2.4GHz quad-core processor and RAM configurations up to 16GB, it provides triple the CPU performance of previous models.

This enhanced processing power enables the Raspberry Pi 5 to tackle demanding computational workloads including AI inference, edge computing, real-time data analysis, and 4K video playback. From advanced maker projects to industrial embedded applications, the Pi 5 delivers the performance you need.

Core Capabilities

• Dual 4K Display Support: Two Micro HDMI outputs enable dual-monitor configurations
• High-Speed USB 3.0: Two USB 3.0 ports offer 10x faster data transfer rates
• Network Connectivity: Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band (2.4/5.0 GHz) wireless networking
• Bluetooth 5.0: Wireless connectivity for peripheral devices
• GPIO Interface: 40-pin header for connecting sensors, actuators, and expansion modules

What You'll Need

• Power: 27W USB-C power adapter (required)
• Storage: Micro SD card with Raspberry Pi OS (pre-flashed cards available from Vilros)
• Input Devices: USB keyboard and mouse
• Display Connection: Micro HDMI cable

Choosing the Right RAM Configuration

Additional RAM enables more simultaneous applications, larger file handling, and resource-intensive software without performance degradation. For most newcomers and educational use, 8GB provides an excellent starting point.

• 2GB – Suitable for basic projects, introductory programming, and budget-conscious builds
• 4GB – Works well for everyday computing, multitasking, media playback, and retro gaming
• 8GB – Recommended for Docker containers, robotics applications, AI workloads, and software development
• 16GB – Built for demanding tasks like computer vision, data analytics, and industrial applications
