A Journey of Innovation
Since its inception in 2008, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has aimed to provide young people with accessible, programmable, and affordable computing experiences. The Raspberry Pi has evolved into a platform that fosters innovation across various sectors, with approximately 70-80% of units now used in industrial and embedded applications.
In response to the diverse needs of our commercial customers, we introduced the first Compute Module in 2014, which provided essential functionality in a compact SODIMM format. This approach has allowed embedded customers to leverage our extensive investments in hardware and software, leading to the development of customized products. Today, we proudly unveil Compute Module 5, the latest iteration in our Compute Module series.
Introducing Compute Module 5
The Compute Module 5 retains all the powerful features of the Raspberry Pi 5 but in a smaller package. Key specifications include:
- 2.4GHz quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU
- VideoCore VII GPU supporting OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.3
- Dual 4Kp60 HDMI display output
- 4Kp60 HEVC decoder
- Optional dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0
- 2 × USB 3.0 interfaces supporting simultaneous 5Gbps operation
- Gigabit Ethernet with IEEE 1588 support
- 2 × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceivers
- A PCIe 2.0 x1 interface for fast peripherals
- 30 GPIOs supporting both 1.8V and 3.3V operation
- A rich selection of peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, SDIO, and PWM)
The Compute Module is available with options for 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM, along with 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB of MLC eMMC non-volatile memory. A variant with 16GB SDRAM is expected to be released in 2025.
Designed for compatibility with its predecessor, the Compute Module 4, the Compute Module 5 features high-density connectors for easy integration into custom carrier boards.
Accessory Offerings
To complement the Compute Module 5, we are introducing several new accessories designed to enhance your experience:
IO Board
It breaks out every interface from Compute Module 5 and serves as both a development platform and reference baseboard.
