Four years after the Raspberry Pi 4 shipped, today the Raspberry Pi 5 is launching with a much improved SoC leading to significant performance gains.
The Raspberry Pi 5 is designed to deliver a 2~3x performance improvement over the Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 5 features a quad-core Cortex-A76 processor that clocks up to 2.4GHz, compared to the four Cortex-A72 cores found in the Raspberry Pi 4 that only clocked up to 1.8GHz. The graphics are also much-improved with now having an 800MHz VideoCore VII graphics processor over the VideoCore VI graphics with the Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 5 is capable of driving two 4K @ 60Hz displays and features 4K @ 60 HEVC decode hardware capabilities.
Also interesting with the Raspberry Pi 5 is that it features in-house silicon in the form of the RP1 “southbridge” used for much of the board’s I/O capabilities. This southbridge should yield faster USB I/O along with other I/O bandwidth upgrades like a doubling of the peak SD card performance. The Raspberry Pi 5 also features a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface for improved connectivity.
It’s not impossible to get it if you try.
I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted since it’s been dead-simple finding stock of Pi 4s the last few months.

The Pi 5s are probably going to be a little rough to find the first few months as with any new Pi launch because everyone swarms stores for them. Like the 4 and 3 that came before it.
Yeah, it didn’t take me long to buy a Pi by just following that site for less than a week.
It’s quite odd that I keep getting downvoted and you keep getting up voted.
I completely give up on trying to figure out what gets upvoted/downvoted on Lemmy. I literally just pasted a link.
Hmm, so the chip supply issue is sorted? When are we getting the original price back? Never that’s when.
The manufacturer’s suggested price is a completely different issue than availability.
