![Raspberry Pi 5
Raspberry Pi 5 specifications and demo. The new Raspberry Pi 5 was announced at 7:00am on September 28th 2023, and will be available at the end of October. You can read the Raspberrry Pi news release here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/
I have a follow-up video running further tests on a Pi 5 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35_5wRKi_TI
Please note that I was supplied with a pre-release Raspberry Pi 5 and accessories by Raspberry Pi Limited. This video is therefore flagged as a paid promotion, as a company’s “product is included directly in the content and the company [gave me] free of charge products”. But Raspberry Pi did not not have any input to the content, other than providing answers to some specific technical queries at my request.
