Jeff GeerlingThe Raspberry Pi 5 is 2.5x faster than the Pi 4 (sometimes more!), and I have the FULL rundown — let me walk you through it in this thread. #RaspberryPi #Pi5
For starters, check out my video on the #RaspberryPi 5, it goes through _everything_ in more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBtOEmUqASQ #Pi5
Raspberry Pi 5: EVERYTHING you need to know
The Pi 5 is at least 2x faster than the Pi 4 in every meaningful way: WiFi, microSD, USB bandwidth, CPU, GPU... though it still sticks with 1 Gbps Ethernet (but with PTP now!)
The board includes the first custom silicon to hit an official Raspberry Pi SBC, the RP1 chip, which is a 'southbridge' between the BCM2712 and the rest of the IO. It has many tricks up its sleeve—expect to hear more about them in the coming months!
There are also new battery, fan, and UART connectors, as well as a new power button, exposing some very handy quality of life improvements. This is the first Pi that's really comfortable being your tiny PC.

@geerlingguy I’m unreasonably excited for the UART connector. I should be excited about PCIe! But no, giddy about an easy serial connection.
@josephholsten lol "how do you tell a dev from a typical user"
"show them a dedicated UART port and see how they react"
@geerlingguy Well, I do work with Ampere Altra servers at my day job. Pretty soon I’ll even be managing the projects to support next gen processors like Ampere Siryn, etc.
So I’m wondering things like what level of SystemReady the rpi5 supports.
@josephholsten I asked about this in May—they aren't (yet) interested in pursuing SR support. I have expressed my interest in them getting there, but it's not a market demand from the majority of customers at this time.
It'd be so cool to have SR SBC though!
