Raspberry Pi 4 has been released in June 2019 and now many users are concerned about the Raspberry Pi 5 release date. Now, continue to read this post from MiniTool Partition Wizard to get more details about Raspberry Pi 5 release date/specs/price.
The Raspberry Pi, also known as the RPi, is a family of small single-board computers developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Since its release, the Raspberry Pi has attracted a large number of users due to its credit card size and low cost. It can also be connected to a computer monitor or TV and supports a standard keyboard and mouse like most regular computers.
The Raspberry Pi 4 was released in June 2019, so when is the Raspberry Pi 5 release date? Please keep reading.
Raspberry Pi 5 Release Date
When is the Raspberry Pi release date? I believe this is a problem that most players care about. The definitive answer is no, but at least we have a clue.
That being said, Raspberry Pi CEO Mr. Eben Upton has made it clear that the Raspberry Pi 5 won’t be coming until 2024. As announced in a recent blog post, 100,000 units will enter the supply chain, and in the second half of 2023, we can expect inventory levels to return to pandemic norms. That said, supply chain shortages have affected the normal cadence of Raspberry Pi releases.
Raspberry Pi 5 Expected Specs
According to Raspberry CEO and founder Eben Upton, the company is planning to build an upgraded version of the single board, with the goal of focusing on enhancing faster processors, more than 8GB of RAM, faster USB connections, faster Wi-Fi, and 2.5Gb Ethernet.
The Raspberry Pi has improved considerably with each new iteration of its system. What advantages does the Raspberry Pi 5 have over earlier versions? We list the Raspberry Pi 5 expected specs below.
1. Faster Processor
On top of that, the Raspberry Pi 5 will almost certainly have a fast processor. Raspberry Pi 2 launched with quad-core Cortex-A7 900MHz (later Cortex-A53), Pi 3 had quad-core Cortex-A53 @1.2GHz (Pi 3 B+ upgraded to 1.4GHz), Raspberry Pi 4 had quad-core Cortex-A72 @1.5GHz (later versions support 1.8GHz).
Then it is quite possible that the Raspberry Pi 5 has a quad-core Cortex A76 @2.0 GHz.
2. More Memory
It seems likely that the Raspberry Pi 5 will come with either 8GB or 16GB of LPDDR5 memory.
3. Improved USB Type-C connection
The Raspberry Pi 4 development board relies solely on USB Type-C for power. With the increasing use of USB Type-C, the Raspberry Pi 5 may offer a slimmer data port than we expected.
4. Faster, Leaner Ethernet Support
Related to USB is Ethernet. Next to the USB port on all Raspberry Pi B-format boards, the Ethernet port is just as bulky as the USB. Raspberry Pi 5 could offer faster networking and a thinner form factor.
5. Better Wi-Fi
When it comes to wireless networking, the Raspberry Pi offers both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The Raspberry Pi 5 will most likely be upgraded to Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) or Wi-Fi 6E. Meanwhile, the Raspberry Pi 5 is likely to feature Bluetooth 5.0.

6. eMMC Storage Option
Since the Raspberry Pi already supports SD cards and almost every USB storage medium available, supporting eMMC seems logical. With onboard eMMC storage, microSD cards can be relegated to primary boot media. EMMC storage is low power and available in 32GB and 64GB sizes (as well as various larger options).
Raspberry Pi 5 Predicted Price
Expect a slight price increase for the Raspberry Pi 5. Considering the enhanced performance and specifications compared to the previous model, the price increase is normal. We’ll likely see a Raspberry Pi 5 starting between $40 and $60.
All in all, the yet-to-be-released Raspberry Pi 5 has a lot to offer over its predecessors. Raspberry Pi 5 is better than Raspberry Pi 4. More details and speculation about the capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 5 will follow shortly after the Raspberry Pi 5 is officially announced.
