Thoroughly checked the appearance and number of ports of 'Raspberry Pi 5' & tried taking close-up images to see what kind of chip is installed
Shipping of the single board computer ' Raspberry Pi 5 ' will begin on October 23, 2023, and various applications are progressing in preparation for its release in Japan. Raspberry Pi 5 verification equipment was sent to the GIGAZINE editorial department from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, so we have compiled information on its appearance, number of ports, and ICs used.
Buy a Raspberry Pi 5 – Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi 5 package looks like this. Please note that the Raspberry Pi 5 that appears in the article was sent directly from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, so the details may differ from the Raspberry Pi 5 that is scheduled to be available in Japan.
When opening the package, Raspberry Pi 5 appeared.
I took out all the contents of the package. From left to right: Raspberry Pi 5, instruction manual, and microSD card.
This is what Raspberry Pi 5 looks like.
It has one Ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports.
It also has one USB-C port and two micro HDMI ports for power input. Screen output supports up to 4K/60fps. Please note that the power supply is sold separately and has a minimum requirement of 5V/3A and a recommended requirement of 5V/5A.
Unlike previous models, Raspberry Pi 5 comes standard with a power button.
Additionally, a PCI Express interface is also included. This connector is compatible with PCI Express 2.0, and it is also possible
The back side looks like this. The silver part on the right side is the microSD card slot.
According to Raspberry Pi official distributor Raspberry Pi Shop by KSY, the dimensions are 85 mm x 56 mm x 18 mm. The exclusive area is approximately the same as a transportation IC card or credit card.
The actual weight was 46g.
When Raspberry Pi 5 (left) and Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (right) are lined up, it looks like this. Since the locations of the USB port and Ethernet port are different between the two, it seems difficult to reuse the case.
When Raspberry Pi 5 (left) and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B + (right) are lined up, it looks like this. The positional relationship of the USB port and Ethernet port is the same, but since the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B + is equipped with an HDMI port instead of a micro HDMI port, it seems difficult to use the case.
I took a close-up photo of the IC installed in Raspberry Pi 5. The SoC is 'Broadcom BCM2712'.
RAM is made by Micron.
The I/O controller 'RP1' was independently developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
The power management chip is Dialog's 'DA9091'.
The Ethernet port is made by Trxcom and the USB port is made by Mtconn.
The USB-C port was made by Valcom and the micro HDMI port was made by Mtconn.
On the back side of the USB-C port is a chip labeled 'G73' and '2311.'
The Raspberry Pi 5 that arrived from the Raspberry Pi Foundation to the GIGAZINE editorial department has not received technical standard conformity certification, but we have already submitted a notification for the ``special system for experiments using equipment that has not obtained technical compliance'', so we will update it soon. We are planning to publish a review article including benchmark results.
