Unleash Your Inner Maker: Exploring the World of Raspberry Pi
Raspberry Pi is a powerful credit-card sized micro-computer that packs a surprising punch. Don't be fooled by its size – it can do many things a desktop computer can do, all at an affordable price!
Originally designed to help people of all ages learn to code (like Python and Scratch!), the Raspberry Pi has become a favorite among hobbyists, educators, and makers worldwide. This single-board computer comes with everything you need to get started, including built-in ports for connecting a keyboard, mouse, monitor, camera, and even the internet!
Meet the Raspberry Pi Family:
No matter your skill level or project idea, there's a Raspberry Pi perfect for you:
Raspberry Pi 4 & Raspberry Pi 5: The most powerful Pis, ideal for demanding tasks like AI and media editing (with Pi 5 offering the latest specs).
Raspberry Pi Pico: A microcontroller perfect for learning electronics and simple projects.
Raspberry Pi Zero: Super compact and budget-friendly, these are great for portable projects and getting started.
Welcome to the latest generation of Raspberry Pi: the everything 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high-speed peripherals; the dedicated two-lane 1Gbps MIPI camera and display interfaces present on earlier models have been replaced by a pair of four-lane 1.5Gbps MIPI transceivers, tripling total bandwidth, and supporting any combination of up to two cameras or displays; peak SD card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 a a 16GB Board, there are other models available:
