The Pi 5 should provide better graphical performance, too, thanks to a new 800MHz VideoCore VII GPU.

Whats more, the unit is notable for including the Raspberry Pi Foundations first in-house silicon.

The organization designed its own southbridge to enhance I/O performance.

Speaking of peripherals, the Raspberry Pi 5 comes with plenty of ports.

For the first time, a Raspberry Pi computer also offers a single-lane PCIe 2.0 interface for additional expandability.

Pricing for the Raspberry Pi 5 will start at $60 for the 4GB RAM model.

For an extra $20, plus applicable taxes, consumers and DIY enthusiasts can get the 8GB model.

The new microcomputer will ship before the end of October.
