## Description

Discover unparalleled computing prowess with the Raspberry Pi 5 - 16GB model, the latest and greatest in the groundbreaking Raspberry Pi single-board computer series. Engineered by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, this innovative device sets new standards for performance and versatility in the single-board computer arena.

With double the RAM, you can run even bigger and more computationally intense programs for your projects.

With its 2.4GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 CPU, the 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 model offers an astonishing leap in processing power, making it up to 3x faster than its predecessors. It’s an excellent choice for a wide range of Raspberry Pi projects including IoT, home automation, and Raspberry Pi Python programming.

The Pi 5 series is the first to incorporate custom-designed silicon with its RP1 "Southbridge" I/O controller, significantly boosting peripheral performance. USB 3.0 ports provide a more than 2x increase in total USB bandwidth, and the all-new single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface allows for the connection of higher-bandwidth peripherals - like the [AI HAT](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?order=bestsellers&q=CE09994+CE09993+CE09907) or [NVMe storage](https://core-electronics.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?order=bestsellers&q=CE09980+CE09981)

We offer a plethora of [Raspberry Pi tutorials](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/) and a comprehensive [Raspberry Pi workshop for beginners](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/courses/raspberry-pi-workshop-for-beginners/) to get you started on your Raspberry Pi journey.

This Raspberry Pi 5 16GB listing does not include accessories.

To ensure optimal Raspberry Pi 5 performance, we recommend adding a cooling solution, such as the official [Raspberry Pi active cooler](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-active-cooler.html) or [Raspberry Pi case](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-case-red-white-official.html).

The Raspberry Pi 5 requires an official [5.1V USB-C Raspberry Pi power supply](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-5-power-supply-usb-c-pd-27w-white.html). The use of third-party power supplies may compromise performance.
