Nice video
Nice
Great video -- I am jealous that you got a PCIe board to experiment with! Very interesting that you can set to PCIe 3.0 in the config. So many possibilities here. :)
I think Red shirt Jeff may be at play here "Lets do this and see what happens" "NO Red shirt J.... oh wait it worked?"
Wow. It is nice to see you here too. I am a big fan of EC 😊
Wow a rare sighting!
Wow you're here too, EC. Hello!
I think you should get one to play with too! You are the SBC guru imho.
You're the only RUclipsr that makes a 20 minute video that has all the information I was looking for in a well presented fashion without any obvious bias towards a brand or product at all. Thanks!
You don't see a PI Bias? Blind much?
@@viewitnow3539 he pointed out competition on ARM and RISC-V. Deaf much?
So far, I've found this to be the best among the first wave of RPi 5 reviews. It goes into a lot of details without making the video long, repetitive and rambling. It's all to the point. 👍
Can't wait for this to get into the hands of the general public and developers.
The reigning king of Pi!! Dude, you killed it on this video. This had to take sooooo long....and wow was it worth it!
Hey Chuck! Just wanted to say, you got me into cybersec and I'm forever grateful!
Heh, it was a bit of a journey :D
It took so long, as people were probably hammering raspberry pi’s website, waiting for the pi 5 since 2022
how do you test stats on macbook terminal while booting the pi?its impossible @@JeffGeerling
Can it run Crysis?
I've watched 4 different (pre)reviews of the Pi 5 and once again, Jeff is gold standard for his reviews of SBCs. Thanks Jeff, you covered a lot more than the others.
Thanks for the great (pre)review!
No problem! I have already watched a few this morning but I'm beginning to peter out, time for some sleep!
it was SO comprehensive!
@@JeffGeerlingSame here. Commenting on yours @ 3:20 am. Glad to be retired for sleeping into the morning hours. BR 😎
I am beyond thrilled for the additional I/O on the Pi 5. It's wild that you didn't need an entire video compiling kernels and all that to get simple PCIe devices running in any capacity. I have a pre-order in for the 4GB and all the relevant accessories... Can't wait!
Great vid as always! All the info in one place and some nice comparisons.
This was so thorough. Usually for stuff like this I’d have to go and find the answers to my questions individually. You’ve covered everything I needed to know all in one video. Well done!
Great video and review Jeff!
Thanks David!
haha, i see new raspberry pi 5 diy flipper zero video coming XD
@@JeffGeerling will it ditch its weird boot loading and start using a standard bios at some point?
For arm there is a UEFI certification program called ARM SystemReady. There is a UEFI shim for this for the Pi3/4, it's needed to boot ESXi and Windows. It would be nice if there was a transition over that for the boot firmware.@@Caddy666
@@JeffGeerlingwill the pikvm work with pi5?
One thing I've always been fascinated by is the NAS builds with pi that you've done.
Ive felt that the previous pi models weren't sufficient in making a small or basic NAS but I think that will change with this model.
Id love to see more videos on the topic, it's one of those things I think I'll never get bored of seeing.
Yes i feel the same way.
I've been using the pi4 as nas for some time now.
I can always go for another storage-related video :)
@@JeffGeerlingdo the petabyte pi challenge again
yeah I had a pi 4 NAS and it had tons of problems, really hope this new pi works well.
I really think they made a wise decision by trading efficiency for price. The general consumer really wont care about the difference in efficiency at this level of power consumption. The Pi appeal always was about being the underdog, and still getting the job done for less than a family dinner out.
I get the feeling they got rid of the headphone jack for cost reasons too, but for me that's a deal-breaker.
$75 isn't a family dinner where I come from lol.
It's all about the cost now, that's where the competition is.
@@megatronskneecap same, but I guess that all depends on the size of your family, and the type of food. With an average family size of 4 people, and eating at a reasonably priced chain sit-down restaurant... you will probably be down for $60... +tax and tip... ~$80-90
@@jong2359 Welp scalpers have already got their hands on it. Pimoroni is sold out cold.
Hey Jeff! Great run-down! I really appreciate all of the testing you do to provide complete coverage.
Never had the opportunity to try out the pi 4, so the jump from my trusty pi 3 to the 5 should be quite the improvement for a home server :)
Wow, 3 to 5, that will definitely be mind blowing... just doing an apt update and apt upgrade is mind-bogglingly faster.
Same here, I can’t wait to get my hands on one
@@JeffGeerling Waiiiiiiiit one second right there does this mean that the Pi 5 can actually, reliably run games?
Still got a pi 1 on my shelf in a clear ish original case (2011.12) have see if it still powers up
Same here... never pulled the trigger on the Pi4, just pre-ordered the Pi5... my Pi3 is gasping for air now!! 😂
it feels like we just got the 4, even though it was years ago
If you say so
There was a brief moment where I was able to buy Pi 4s off the shelf at Micro Center. Then 2020 happened and that was all out the window.
@@JeffGeerling They seem to be pretty obtainable at the moment, but that's a recent development of course.
That s because it was available just for huge companies and scalpers.
We never got the 4 though. It was vaporware for the plebs that it was supposedly made for in the first place
This was awesome to see, most important for me though is the improved manufacturing simplicity, fingers crossed it finally fixes the supply issues.
Where i am RP4 B is still 130eur on Amazon & 100eur on official RPI suppliers.
I'm not getting my hopes up
I don't think the supply chain issues had anything at all to do with manufacturing. This will likely reduce production line setup and operational costs and improve yields, all of which helps keep prices down, but if you've had any experience buying electronic components in the past 4 years it's pretty clear why companies like the Raspberry Pi Foundation have had supply issues. It's component supply that is the problem. Lowering manufacturing costs isn't going to make more components magically appear on the market.
In my country, local distributor is selling it for 300 USD. So bad.
@@ajaka002 jesoooooos well I don't have any 4 or 5 but I think I have a 3 somewhere I could send you for free if you want.
@@kmain5587 Thank you very much, but I don't need it. I'm just here to express my opinion. that some distributors think that right now is still a mining boom and chips shortage.
Really glad to see the Pi 5 having more PC-alike features natively like a power button, a PWM fan header and USB-PD! I'm completely fine with my Pi 4, but I'm debating whether or not I want to use something like the Rock 5B or the Pi 5 instead when I'm upgrading to a completely new system in the future. Probably just depends on what hardware connections I need at this point ^^'
I'm glad you made a video on this! I wouldn't have found out about this nearly as quickly otherwise.
i was gonna comment this!
Same!
Dito
If only they crammed an m.2 connector in there, would have been absolutely perfect. But still a 2.5x improvement from the 4 is no joke considering just how capable the 4 is
like on the bottom side.... Where there almost NO COMPONENTS anymore.
Let's not push for this to be a full pc. The price is already getting a bit too high for what it's supposed to be.
@@pidojaspdpaidipashdisao572 All the stores i checked ARE still out of stock anyway, at least Canada. Gotta be like 2 or so Years straight at this point. And now they want to introduce another product? oof.
@pidojaspdpaidipashdisao572 honestly tho with inflation being what it is, the price might be more consistent than it looks at a glance (I mean compare it to the cost of eating out back in the day vs now).
If it had a NVME I would be positive about this release. But now they remove hardware acceleration of video, they still have those really bad mini hdmi ports, and it needs a fan and heatsink (why not just put it on as standard then?) That adapter will be like $40 probably for NVME, and make it like one inch thicker.
Huge thanks for compiling all the infos in a short and sweet way.
Amazing Pi-5 video Jeff! It's just amazing that this new board is twice as fast, while being more efficient at the same time!! Amazing!!
Great Video! Thanks for this Jeff!
The only thing I love more than the raspberry pi is Jeff’s excellent, comprehensive video providing us with all the info we need to know. I cannot wait to order the new unit ❤
The time and effort you put into these recaps is unmatched. Thanks Jeff!
Kiss as
@@omar10wahabwhy kissass? what benefit would they have from kissing ass? altruism is a thing, and supporting content makers means more and better content.
Absolutely! Jeff did amazing
Looking forward to seeing more about the PCIe capabilities over the next few months.
Worth mentioning your charts use a shade of green that makes it difficult for some of us with vision problems to make out which is which.
What a W! RaspberryPis are fantastic. Congratulations to the team behind their creation.
The ability to use pcie right from the board makes me want something like a SATA controller hat. Even if it's slow per port, the ability to run either dual HDDs or sata SSDs in either form factor would make for a cool budget NAS build.
At 2.0 it would be enough bandwidth to run 2 very fast enterprise HDDs like Exos, which are ~250MB/s. At 3.0, you could run 4.
wouldn't it be possible to have a bunch of sata connectors using a pcie to sata adapter ?
@@LtdJorge True. That single 3.0 lane is actually quite good bandwidth. I mentioned it being slow per port because they don't have to stop at 4 ports. An 8-port SATA controller could be used, but I think just 2 really fast ones or maybe 3 would be plenty.
@@neolordie: In theory you could have as many as you wanted, but you can't put more data through PCIe than it has bandwidth for. :)
@@jeschinstad oh didn't see the pcie 2.0 x1 lol, that's pretty bad
Having dealt with both the rpi4 and rock pi stuff for work for a while in sizable numbers the real difference is community, stability and support. The non rpi stuff looks great on paper but the downsides rapidly became apparent as soon as something didnt work as expected.
This is what I worried about as well, having used none of them so far. - It's just because the Raspberry Pi has become THE one in the kind of category of computers that it's so much more widely used and known, automatically increasing the support for it. - I almost decided to just bypass the RPi as "my first one" to a more powerful board, but then I didn't know if I would understand the lesser-known ones. Besides, I should have tried at least one RPi. Probably always useful for something.
preciseley the community makes the difference they do all the legwork they support it they adopt it its just a shame that for the pi 4 pi foundation decided to favour its industry partners wou would keep anything they do with it under nda and tight restrictions and contribute NOTHING back to the community
@@michaelmonstar4276 This very much depends on your use case. I feel a lot of people buy these micro PCs and they end up in the cupboard, own personal one certainly has. Unless you have a specific use case (GPIO etc)a normal computer / laptop or something like a intel NUC or gigbyte brix is often a better option.
True, but if all your using one for is low power basic home computer/TV streaming device, the rivals are fine for that.
Agreed! I’ll take well supported but not as performant any day. When you start hitting $130-$180 I start questioning the value vs. just running VMs on larger and way more performant hardware at that point.
Most complete analysis of the new Raspberry Pi 5 I found. Thanks!
Awesome review and amazing content as always Jeff!
On a side note, wondering about your Dutch soccer t-shirt too, you have Dutch heritage? (Geerling sounds kinda Dutch).
Thanks for all you hard work and keep up the great work!
This will all be amazing if it actually becomes available at the MSRP.

Dear Raspberry Pi Foundation,
After being a dedicated Raspberry Pi enthusiast for quite some time, I have now officially become a "Rockchip Boy." It's not an easy decision, and I want to express my gratitude for all the incredible work you've done with the Raspberry Pi series. The Raspberry Pi has been an amazing platform for learning, tinkering, and creating all sorts of exciting projects.
But lately, I've found myself drawn to the versatility and power of Rockchip-based devices. Their performance and capabilities have opened up new possibilities for my projects and hobbies. While I'll always have a special place in my heart for the Raspberry Pi, it's time for me to explore this new path in the world of single-board computers.
Thank you for all the inspiration and innovation you've brought to the community. I'll be watching your future developments with great interest, and who knows, maybe I'll return to the Raspberry Pi family one day.
Wishing you continued success and growth.
Sincerely,
WurstPeterl
certtified RockChip Boy
Me too, I am an Orange Pi boy.
Orange Pi 5 is a very nice little board!
the rockchips are very cool
Well,rockship is still better for android support.
@@JeffGeerling Little board? Love how you downplay it because you are sponsored by Raspi.
Incredible overview, thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to know.
Great video Jeff! Information dense but still nice to watch. I also like the Dutch t-shirt
Do you also have information on what happens to overheating when underclocking the chip? The latest Intel chips seem to show that temperature scales exponentially with clockspeed so maybe underclocking might be a solution
Great job, Jeff. Really appreciate the comprehensive coverage. Exciting to see an updated version of the Pi too.
oh great now simple robots are putting the complex robots out of jobs now🤣🤣🤣
The reason why you can't playback 4K video is likely because the browser on the pi is forcing the x264 codec which is easier to decode, youtube doesn't offer the 4K data stream in this codec. Same thing happens when you install the x264ify extension on your pc.
Excellent, factually based summary with details and comparisons. Additionally, you kept a cheerful disposition without overselling. I understood about 30% of what you were talking about, and still found this fascinating. Thank you for doing the work of getting the data and presenting it in a brief but thorough and interesting fashion. 🤖
Brilliant video. Really seemed like you covered everything and tried a lot of the things I'm wanting to try. Had to laugh when you pulled out the huge graphics card! 🙂
Yay, thanks so much for an excellent in-dept video, Jeff. I read the official Pi blog this morning and just knew you'd have some content ready so left it to enjoy this evening - really appreciate all the work you put into these!
$80 feels like we're back to "just buy a cheap NUC-like for a DPU" but for price and power reasons now too. The Pi has never been a performance monster, it's winning feature is software support for a low power board (courtesy UK taxpayer funding), but now we're at the point of effectively mandatory active cooling and 5w power supplies, the gap is closing between Pis and the world's most ubiquitous platform again, old and/or cheap x86_64 PCs.
@@ryecatcher25 Or literally any flavor of Linux under the sun. Used "Optiplex Micro" are crashing out at ~$110 maxed out with a 7th gen i7 and 16gb RAM, 4x the performance cap for similar power draws idle and S3 vs the Pi's idle and max, lower specs than that are reliably sub-$50. If you really need GPIO ESP32-S3s are ~$7 since China accidentally flooded out the market on those, their USB return speeds are fast enough to be used as a capture device, and they have almost the same GPIO selection. Putting the two together is eco friendly since you're recycling old hardware with minimal power draw, good for your wallet since you're getting more for less, and still getting all the features of a Pi.
I agree - if you are looking for a small NUC, there are better options for the same price after you factor in the board, the adapter, active cooling and a case. I also wouldn't print my own case unless I plan on using ABS. If you print a case with PLA, I doubt it would last long due to high temperatures causing warping. That being said, I loved it back when the Pi was only about 1amp. It could easily be run 100% solar powered and a battery when no solar was available. Now there are other alternatives for that market as well. It feels like the Pi family is not the same Pi that I fell in love with.
Outstanding review, Jeff! Thank you 💪🏻
If the RPI5 would have launched a year ago it would have been huge, right now i feel like it is on the middle of everything because we have things like the RK3588/S and the Rk3566 covering the rear (The Orange PI 3B gives you a M.2 slot for as low as $30 to play around a single pcie lane). Even RISC-V is starting to put up a fight as the Lichee was already outperforming the RPI4. Not to mention AllWinner new socs that has a dual A78 + Hexa A55.
Most importantly you can buy those sbc-s while good luck finding raspberry pi.
Stay far away from AllWinner SOCs. In my experience, they heat up quite a bit and usually have bugs(looking at the H6 which had PCIE, but you couldn't access it. At least not with Armbian).
With the improved I/O, this feels like it opens the way to a Pi-based *4+1 port* network router/switch in a single case.
In my experience, this use case has never been reliable, due to a mixture of issues ranging from microSD card corruption, to dodgy UAS support for external boot drives, unreliable USB-ethernet adapter performance etc.
@@tomfahey2823 The PCI-E port on the board would let ya connect a 4x port NIC and then use the Pis internal Gigabit as the +1 though, no USB Ethernet adapters needed
If Jeff can get 6Gb on a 10Gb NIC that should translate to full 1Gb on 5 ports at least somewhat
@@tbthegr81 Yes, but that's not really an upgrade on the Pi 4 Compute Module then, is it? And you still have the problem of unreliable storage media.
This is why I was hoping for more PCIe lanes and/or NVMe, or at least eMMC support.
SBCs with a double port (for ingress and outgress) still are way better solutions usually. 8 port gigabit switch is a pittance these days, no reason to make it expensive in a specialised hat.
@@tomfahey2823 I've had extremely reliable Sata to USB operation and uptime. But did have to experiment a little with USB hubs as they would run for weeks then randomly crash requiring a reboot
At the moment it feels like the only reason to buy a pi is the software support. The alternatives all seem to be lacking (usually only having a couple of distros available) whereas the pi had direct support from multiple distributions.
Given this pi only just catches up to the competition in performance and isn't much cheaper then if one of the competitors actually managed to get better software support they would be a much better alternative.
That's the problem, the alternatives never will, I don't know why but they just don't seem interested. You would think that they would want to jump on that but I guess it costs a lot of money.
If you don't care about all the GPIO and PCIe externals, and 3rd-party gizmos, then other SBCs work just fine. I love my Khadas VIM4 and it has 8GB of RAM
That problem has existed since the beginning and still the same today. Its why i gave up & just repurpose old laptops or NUCS for my home projects.
@@redpillsatori3020yeah only 3times the raspberry price… 🤡
@@MrGamelover23 I’d bet that’s largely a fixed cost too, and that the Raspberry Pi can spread it out over more units.
The competition probably isn’t seeing a market for hobbyist SBC’s that split the difference and are neither the best supported (since they won’t match rPi overnight) nor the best performance value.
Incredible depth in this video, great work!
Always good to have a few Pis on hand for the random pop up projects. Great video. 👍
Looks like a great foundation for a pi500 computer: faster USB, SD, PD support, more power, southbridge chip, RTC and a power button. I wonder if this is really what they're after.
I think it might be time for me to get a new pie haha, I have a pi 1
Good lord, the Pi 1 is so obnoxiously slow looking back on it from the lens of today. The OG pi found it's most use for me as a VPN server before I had a comprehensive homelab.
dont waste your money on rpi or any sbc, get a secondhand mini pc's like hp or dells, its old but its still more powerful than these sbcs, plus the power consumption difference is negligible.
@@jongskie777what abort GPIO then?
@@mikkelkirketerp4884honestly, how many GPIO use cases do people use Pi’s for. Most of those can be solved with a far cheaper Arduino or similar.
@@mikkelkirketerp4884usb to gpio maybe?
Great job Jeff! I'm sure it won't be long before Raspberry and Rocket chip come out with models of the Pi5 to satisfy us all. Thanks Jeff 👍
I'm so impressed with this video. So much quality. So much excitement.
Very cool!
Starts at $60-$80... I really hope the shortage is over because that's probably the most any hobbyists will want to spend.
Those are imaginary numbers, sometimes I wonder why do people even bother with these MSRP prices..
It should be 39$ for the top spec, the pi used to be cheap..
@@spamuman To give credit to the PI foundation, you are able to preorder the PI 5 at those prices right now at multiple different retailers. While I agree it probably wont stick around, I was able to bye a PI 4 about a month ago from Adafruit at MSRP
@@25566 the demand rose, so the price did because the people making them and selling them know dipshits will pay for it. If you won't someone else will
@@25566 I do feel like they're moving too far into the performance field, and are losing sight of people who just need a cheap and not neccesarily powerful computer. I use Pis for home assistant, and a pi 3 is capable of running Home Assistant easily. I do hope Pi 4 does not get discontinued for a good while.
I can't wait to not buy one or get one at double msrp.
Let's hope they can ramp production quickly. The Pi 4 finally is back in stock. Sometimes. In some places! We'll see.
Love the video! Very informative, as always. Glad to see your feeling better too. ill be sad to see you move filming locations, your basement studio has some charm as a backdrop.
all the information here is PACKED FULL - Thanks Jeff
It would be great to see Raspberry pi to create a Pi 500 with this new hardware. I personally love the Pi 400 for being a console management PC, but it desperately needs additional USB ports and incorporating a pci into the Pi 400 form factor would be incredibly helpful.
same pi500 pleaseeeeeeeeeee. but with 8gb
I really don't think your use case is what they intended the Pi 400 for, but maybe you'll get lucky.
Let's hope that santa 🧑🎄 sends some elves over to raspberry before December...
A raspberry pi 500 really would be a nice stocking filler.......
My little utility Pi 400 would love the upgrade!
That would pretty much be a Pi 5a+ which is something I would want
This was a very informative and condensed overview of the new RP5. I very much appreciate your analysis that goes beyond "it's better." The why and how goes a long way. Looking forward to more of your content.
if the pi 4 had over heating issues and used less power then the pi5 what are the heat issues that the pi 5 must have due to that issue?🤔
@JeffGeerling In my precommand I chose to have the official case with my RPi5 over the Active Cooler because I have cats. And I have a set of three heatsinks for RPi4 which sat unused since I put my RPi4 in an Argon case. I intend to reuse them on the RPi5 in combinaison with the official case.
So in your opinion, which are the two chips beside the CPU where should I put the heatsinks ?
One of the best reviews I've watched on RUclips. Congrats!
Question: Since it does have a new, custom south bridge, does it still have USB OTG, like the Pi 4?
I'm thinking about applications like PiKVM that make heavy use of this feature. Thanks!
We need to start adding the Intel N100 to those comparisons. Efficiency, video playback, io, pcie are very competitive... yes it's usually a bit bigger but there's tons of applications where the size difference is insignificant, the x86 platform is a huge bonus on compatibility (forget about kernel hacks for universal pcie compatibility) and the actual market price and availability have been more tempting on the n100s than the Pis.
They're like double the price of a Raspberry Pi 5 though
@@3nertia and 10 times the cpu power
If we are talking about intel's announced horse-creek, then why not. But anything based on x86-64, no thank you. This is like using a massive anchor as a door stopper.
- PS: Somebody replied, i should reevalute by presenting shiny n100 wattage numbers. That person somehow forgot to mention, that the n100 typically needs a big heatsink and even active coolers to prevent down throttling. The greater heat output is inherent in x86-64 designs no matter what workarounds Intel's engineers tried for over a decade now. The x86-64 complex needs more transistors for an instruction compared to the arm or risc-v isa. And more transistors involved for one instruction inevitably means more power consumption.
- Also that person somehow forgot, that intel tries to mitigate their isa disadvantage by producing their SoC chips at a smaller node than the pi and popular risc-v SoCs. In the case of the n100 the used lithography step is intel 7. The PI 5 gets produced at 16 nm and current RISC-V even bigger. So when you compare do it under fair conditions and don't hold back the facts.
@@paparansen Based on what?
@@aladdin8623 n100 consume 6w idle, 25w in use, I think you need to reevaluate.
The question I think everybody is asking is why they kept the awful micro-HDMI plugs. They should have gone to full size. Having one displayport and one HDMI also would have been cool.
But in general I'm happy that they worked hard to keep the price reasonable.
Id liked to ser a display or mini display port, even could be cheaper because licenses.
Lenovo's thinkcenters have no HDMI and with display port is enough.
It would not only have been cool but saved users money and stopped a lot of e-waste from being created.
Yea, i mean, if they want it to be as small as possible, then why put USB-A instead of USB-C? And if they want the compatibility, then there really is no reason to use micro-hdmi... Its just such a strange setup...
These connectors are the absolute worst. Video out via USB-C is a thing, that would've been sooooo much better.
My guess is the weight of hdmi chords may have had a tendency to damage ports given the lightweight of the sbc. Choosing to go the micro hdmi may server as a breakway, cutting down the tendency of broke ports. However, that's just a guess. It's also easier to serve the part of the community that needs dual display options for projects dealing with a second screen given the size of full sized hdmi ports.
Going with two full sized ports would cut into the sbc's real estate and it would either suffer space issues for other chips and circuitry and or heat issues
Most thorough review I’ve seen. Thank you
Great video with Great information! I just picked up a couple zero 2 w’s! Excited to get some projects going
Thank you Jeff.. you and Mr ExplainingComputers are my go to places for single board computing.. you guys rock!
Awesome overview of the new specs and performance. Can't wait to get my hands on one!
Nice job, Jeff. Nice and concise and to the point! 🙂
Very complete video ! thanks Jeff !
I'm so excited to see that this costs as much as a second hand Lenovo tiny with 8GB of RAM and SSD.
Yeah, yeah the lenovo uses 35W and it's bigger, but at least it can be saved from the landfill and doesn't corrupt your storage since it also comes with the right PSU.
Run it off solar and it's a total net positive!
@@JeffGeerling off a treadmill. RUN FASTER JACK, WE NEED MORE POWA!!!😂
I still think dropping the full size HDMI port for 2 smaller ones was a mistake on the 4b. I was hoping it could get support for dual video out via Type-C connector like they have commonly on docks. Heres hoping that they update the Zero as well because Orange Pi's version of it slaps HARD. I hope that RISC-V becomes viable in my lifetime.
They really should just make the USB-C port fully functional with data and video (DP), and drop one or both micro-HDMI connectors, and maybe have a single full-size HDMI. Sure, the dongles are more expensive, but they're way more ubiquitous. Maybe a special CM5/Zero could come out with a single USB-C connection for some real minimalist projects.
@@khyoyeon554that’d be really awesome; a USB C monitor would be able to provide a single cable for everything (DisplayPort, a USB hub, audio, full power etc etc)

Hi Orange shirt Jeff! This is a great summary. The pace is just right and no unnecessary details has been discussed. In the next video maybe you cover OS’s on the PI5 and the usefulness as a desktop computer.

Thanks for the great overview. From the pcb it looks like a number of components are still through hole mounted - the pins are just cut flush with the bottom of the board. This is a good thing though for sockets etc as they are stronger than smd mounted.
Let's goooooo! Very excited to see more Raspberry Pi stuff, even if I've never actually gotten around to using the ones I have now 😅
Great review jeff. Its really informative and explaing clearly.exciting to see a new version of pi.
This is one of your best videos, Jeff. I'm still a Rock 5 admirer for its 8 cores, but I'm hoping the price is going down soon. It's good that the Raspberry Pi 5 has the double of the speed for 5 dollars more. It will probably push the others to reduce prices and launch better models. The case is a cool addition, something that was needed. Let's see what will come up in 2024.
Excellent review as usual. Thank you for all your hard work!
Thanks for the all tests and well organized review. What is status of UEFI and ACPI, and TFTP netbooting? I used RPi4 firmware about a year ago, and it kind of worked, but some stuff did not work (either were broken, memory issues on 4GB models, various drivers not working or not having bindings, etc), and it still required extra partition just for the RPi, which is really not great.
I want to use UEFI and ACPI for just running standard Linux distros, but Windows people might also find it useful.
Thank you so much for the massive effort... to create sucha informative review
Pi 5 looks really cool, though I will be waiting for a while to get it. Already have 2 Pi 4s doing all the work I need so far. Looking forward to what Raspberry Pi foundation does for the Zero W series of Pi's.
Wow the amount of computing power in the area of a credit card is amazing. My only complaint is very few of the accessories for the Pi4 fit the Pi5. Which means I'll have to buy everything new again.
RP5 Salesman of the Year! Nice vid, Jeff!
you got a new Subscriber. I wasn't expecting starting out back in 2012 with a RPI B+ to see an iteration of a Raspberry PI 5 this powerful and then to see the dang thing hooked up to a RTX 3080 TI 🤣 . This is absolutely brilliant. I am looking for a retro gaming system for my Living room, so when I have visitors I can have some form of entertainment without buying a Console. I have seen PS2, Switch, and other consoles being emulated on this thing. Micro Center to the rescue had some in stock and I was luckily able to nab one (The 8gb version), along with a PI zero W at MSRP value. I will definetely be watching more of your videos in hope of success with the graphics cards and other PCI accessories. I have a spare 1070 SC in a frankenstien AM3 X64 PC build running debian linux and wouldn't mind sacrificing a giant full tower case for a tiny ARM microcomputer. Keep up the amazing work Man!!
The Raspberry Pi foundation seriously needs to get their act together. 4+ years of development and this is what we get? Where are the USB-C stuff like DP alt mode, Power Delivery, and so on? PCIe x1 is a nice addition, but not as nice as many of the competitors offering x4. Micro HDMI in 2023 is a slap in the face. And there's even two? They're lucky their software support is great, because otherwise I don't see why they should even exist anymore.
For 4 years I have been crying that the Pi4 didn't have VP9 decoding for RUclips.
And now 4 years later with the Pi5 they are still advertising H.265?! What am I supposed to do with that? Decode BluRay?
Where is VP9/AV1? And a single lane of PCIe with a proprietary connector instead of 4xPCIe on m.2?
Honestly after 4 years this upgrade (5A Power delivery, CPU upgrade, crypto extensions, experimental PCIe3, RTC) is nice but it's still a disappointment.
One thing i would've liked them to do, as a different model option ofc, is adding a direct M.2 slot to the board. Considering how thin m.2 ssd's are, i can totally imagine adding that port to the back of the board. I'm just guessing it, but the size would barely increase with that, and an m.2 ssd is basically the same price (or even cheaper) as similar sized sd card. (Also ofc it had to be compatible with those older m.2's, not the 'up-to-date' Long ones, as they are longer than the board)
I will say exactly the same, also its not fair compare to Orange PI 5 its little expensive but offer M.2 Slot.
@@MiddleB0ssnot that different closest board
Wow! I saw a loot videos, but yours is best! You really did your homework and checked all the boxes. Thanks a lot!
Hi Jeff. Now that everything is surface mounted, do you know whether third party boards that mount to the bottom of the pi will still be able to access the GPIO with pogo pins from underneath?
Solid review, nice T-Shirt, keep up the great content Jeff!
There's one thing I would really like to see from the Pi foundation to make the RPi5 worthwhile to me: actual datasheets/TRMs for the BCM-2712 and the RP-1 chip. The pi foundation has never done well here with their SBCs in the past, but the RP2040's datasheet is excellent, so there's some hope here. The various rockchip SBCs are a lot better here since you can actually get TRMs for their socs (even if its a little ... unofficial, shall we say).
I think the lack of that is more to external suppliers than the foundation. A lot comes under NDA. As you point out the rp2040 really shines on documentation, but that thing is completely made in house.
I expect to see a lot of documentation on the rp1 but I wouldn't expect much on the new Broadcom cpu. But I blame Broadcom for that. Even your comparison is too non official documentation which isn't a fair comparison
something that blew my mind while working as a contractor (on a Rockchip SoC) is that you can get them to make custom chip packages like stacked die, and getting a TRM *still* like pulling teeth. I don't even know if we managed to get one, had to reverse engineer register status bits for my driver until they sent screenshots from the 1000+ page TRM we weren't given.
@@bzuidgeest ultimately, it's the pi foundation's choice of which soc to use -- theoretically, they could go with something like a TI Sitara AM69 (that's just a random choice of an SoC that's well documented publicly by comparison, I'm not suggesting that they should or shouldn't use that particular chip). At least _some_ of the rockchip parts have officially accessible TRMs (although I think they're incomplete from a cursory glance, which isn't necessarily unexpected), and as far as I understand the rockchip parts don't have a crucial coprocessor that controls the boot sequence and is almost(?) completely undocumented.
that said, I do expect and hope for great things from the RP-1 as far as documentation goes. I'm hoping they also sell it as a higher-end microcontroller
@@ShinyQuagsire ouch -- not even under NDA? That honestly sounds worse than a lot of the other cpu vendors -- I'd assume that most of them would view you as important enough to give a TRM if they view you as important enough to do custom packaging for
Amazing review! Thanks a lot for this video! ❤️
13:14 RUclips allows your browser to choose between H.264 and VP9 video codecs for anything up to 1080p, but only streams in VP9 for anything higher than 1080p. Normally, your browser would fall back to software decoding if the codec that's currently used isn't supported by the hardware, but maybe the browser in Raspberry Pi OS is specifically compiled to never use software decoding for performance reasons.
nice to see a new pi with most of the drawbacks fixed. this gives me hope the pi ecosystem will be around for a while. looking forward to the release. thanks for the breakdown!
I don't think they fixed the polyfuse issue, as the pi becomes more powerful and costly, they should seriously consider putting some form of over-voltage protection.
I'm trying to get excited, but I can't help but to doubt they're actually available close to those prices by the end of the year.
We'll see... definitely try to get in a pre-order if you can, some resellers are taking them already.
It would be interesting to see if the RP1 can also be programmed as kind of a co-processor, handling some real-time tasks (like stepping a stepper motor, or reading a rotary encoder signal) without the need for a real-time OS running on the AP. (Or if some of the PIO goodness also made its way into the RP1 silicon)
According to the documentation, the RP1 does feature two ARM Cortex M3 cores - now the question becomes: is it user programmable? :)
(datasheets.raspberrypi.com/rp1/rp1-peripherals.pdf page 5)
Instantly bought the It has been "0 days" since the last time I recompiled the Linux kernel shirt. It's accurate for me! Great design. Thanks for the review, the 5 looks like a worthy successor. The manufacturing improvements are big news.
Thank you for this great video. I'm curious about the video encoding/decoding benchmarks using hardware-accelerated tools. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you used x264 for video benchmarks, which is a software implementation of the codec. It would be greatly appreciated if you could also test hardware-accelerated tools, such as gstreamer with omx enabled.
The rpi5 doesn't have a video encoder block. You have to use software encoding and pay a large power penalty.
For my admittedly casual use case the new Video Core VII was what made me want one. A more powerful and capable GPU has been a loooong time coming, the Pi4 always seemed a little mismatched with it's GPU.
newbie here just got a pi5 really easy to set up and iam liking it a lot cheers
Outstanding video! Thanks...
Even though I have a two Proxmox machines already, I still use Raspberry Pi, Radxa Rock Pi, Orange Pi on my homelab. They play an important role like DNS, network management, monitoring, etc...
I'll more likely stay on RPi 4, Radxa Rock 4. RPi 5 is interesting since my priority is booting using NVME, but the features of Pi 4 is enough, but again the PCIE in the Pi 5 is tempting.
Pi was and always should be a teaching and learning tool. I'm glad they are able to find reliable sourcing because I was so worried that stock outages were meant to kill off the Pi. I guess specialty chipsets are meant to avoid future outages. I was looking at the schematics but I wasn't able to see if the COM chipset is the bottleneck like it was for the 3 and 4. Have they removed that issue?
EDIT: I'm assuming they will release smaller memory PI5s as you showed there are 8, 4, 2, and 1 Gig memory resistor points on the card.
The supply shortages were industry wide and not limited to the foundation. They worked hard to keep it going. Much of the supply went to business customers. Some people complain about that, but I see that as very good. It gives them a stable source of revenue to make us better boards. It also forces high quality os support because companies like stable software in their machines. And they also like long term availability, which again also serves us.
Your videos are so good Jeff. Thank You
Great round up thanks Jeff, I have question about that power button that I don't think got covered and I didn't see else where, is the switch optional or do we have to press is to power up the Pi? and is their any kind of connector/pins that can override it? I really hope it's optional, what with the power input on the side, enclosures are already a pain if you want anything in addition to power in (i.e. USB or network - yes I know, POE Hat, which is great if you don't want to use the GPIO header 😞), if we have to press the button at the back to power it up as well, that's forcing 3 sides to be exposed which is really annoying from an enclosure perspective).
You don't have to press the power button; when power is restored (or applied) it will boot as normal. That might be configurable soon too.
