So far only Radeon RX 460 You can connect a full desktop discrete graphics card   to a Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer for $60. [caption id="attachment_85125" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4090 to Raspberry Pi 5[/caption] This is exactly what channel author Jeff Geerling implemented by connecting a Radeon RX 460 adapter to his Pi 5. And it all worked. True, achieving this is not so easy. Of course, the Raspberry Pi 5 itself does not have a PCIe slot, and indeed there are no classic slots at all. But since this is a Raspberry Pi, its capabilities can be expanded with various modules, adapters, and other things. That is, you can even connect a GeForce RTX 4090 to Raspberry Pi 5? To connect the video card, the author of the project used the uPCity module, which is not yet commercially available, but will appear in time. In addition, of course, the card needed to implement additional power. https://youtu.be/BLg-1w2QayU It’s difficult to say whether someone needs such a solution for practical purposes, since the Raspberry Pi 5 was created for experiments, but the ability to connect a discrete video card in itself is already a big plus.

It supports Android 12 and Debian 10 The shelf of single board computers has arrived: the Banana Pi BPI-M7 based on the Rockchip RK3588 SoC is presented. The SoC features a quad-core 2.4 GHz Arm Cortex-A76 and four 1.8 GHz Arm Cortex-A55 cores, an Arm Mali-G610 MP4 GPU, and a 6 TOPS Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for acceleration. AI tasks. [caption id="attachment_82595" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Banana Pi BPI-M7[/caption] Banana Pi BPI-M7 will go on sale in versions with 8, 16 and even 32 GB of LPDDR4X RAM, and the total amount of eMMC flash memory can be 64 or 128 GB. Also on the board measuring 92 × 62 mm there is an M.2 slot connected to the PCIe 3.0 x4 bus. Banana Pi BPI-M7 introduced, one of the most powerful single board computers [caption id="attachment_82596" align="aligncenter" width="496"] Banana Pi BPI-M7[/caption] Banana Pi BPI-M7 is equipped with Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6 adapters, as well as a pair of 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports. HDMI and USB-C are used to connect monitors, and both support image output at 8K resolution, but the frame rate is different - 60 and 30 fps, respectively. The computer is compatible with Android 12 and Debian 10 OS. Unfortunately, the cost has not yet been announced.

The processor frequency was raised to 3.0 GHz, GPU – to 1.1 GHz Raspberry Pi 5 was presented last Thursday, and the result of overclocking the latest version of the single-board computer has already been published. As it turns out, you can squeeze an additional 25% performance out of the Broadcom BCM2712 SoC. [caption id="attachment_61784" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Raspberry Pi 5[/caption] It should be noted right away that the experiment was carried out with an optional cooling system called Active Cooler (price - only $5). It consists of a low-profile aluminum radiator and a small fan. Obviously, without its use, such a result would hardly have been achieved. [caption id="attachment_61785" align="aligncenter" width="619"] Raspberry Pi 5[/caption] Raspberry Pi 5 was overclocked a day after the announcement As a result of the experiment, the CPU frequency was raised by 600 MHz – up to 3.0 GHz. The frequency of the VideoCore VII GPU was increased by 300 MHz – up to 1.1 GHz. After this, the computer ran the Stressberry test for five minutes without any problems. In the stress test, the consumption was 10 W, the temperature was 69-74 ° C. In standby mode, consumption decreased to 3 W, temperature - to 46 ° C. [caption id="attachment_61786" align="aligncenter" width="723"] Raspberry Pi 5[/caption] The performance increase was recorded in the Sysbench application: the single-threaded test result was 3423 points, and the multi-threaded test was 13681 points. Both results are 25% higher than the regular version of Raspberry Pi 5 and almost twice as high as Raspberry Pi 4.

Much more powerful than Raspberry Pi 4 and with PCIe 2.0 support Four years have passed since the release of Raspberry Pi 4, and now Raspberry Pi 5 has been released. The new generation of single-board computers has improved in almost everything, but the price has become slightly higher: the cost of the version with 4 GB of RAM is $60, and the version with 8 GB of RAM is 80 dollars. [caption id="attachment_60995" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Raspberry Pi 5[/caption] The Raspberry Pi 5 hardware platform is based on the Broadcom BCM2712 SoC with four Arm Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz. The creators talk about an increase in computing power by 2-3 times compared to the Raspberry Pi 4. The GPU of the new computer is VideoCore VII with a frequency of 800 MHz and support for OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2. The creators note a “significant increase in GPU performance” compared to its predecessor. Raspberry Pi 5 was introduced, and it received a south bridge for the first time [caption id="attachment_60996" align="alignnone" width="780"] Raspberry Pi 5[/caption] For the first time, the RP1 south bridge, which is responsible for connecting peripherals, appeared in the Raspberry Pi Foundation device. According to the developers, it “provides a qualitative improvement in the performance and functionality of peripheral devices.” Raspberry Pi 5 received two MIPI transceivers with a bandwidth of 1.5 Gbps, which allows you to connect two cameras or two displays. There is also one PCI Express 2.0 line, however, to realize its speed potential, you cannot do without connecting an M.2 HAT adapter. https://youtu.be/yul4gq_LrOI The Raspberry Pi 5 receives power via the USB-C port. There are integrated Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11ac adapters, an SD card slot, two HDMI ports (4K 60 fps displays are supported), two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, and RJ-45.
