RP1 \u2014 Raspberry\u2019s own chip<\/h4>\n

All ports and connectors on the Pi 5 are handled by a separate RP1 chip, developed by Raspberry from the ground up specifically for this board. What does it mean in practice? <\/p>\n

USB 3 works noticeably faster. An external SSD can read and write data without slowdowns \u2014 this is important, for example, if the Bitcoin blockchain is stored on it.
\nThere are also two universal camera and display connectors. You can connect two cameras, two displays, or one of each \u2014 in any combination.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Noticeably faster and more responsive than Pi 4
<\/h4>\n

Inside is a quad-core Broadcom BCM2712 processor with Arm Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.4 GHz. This is what gives Raspberry Pi 5 a 2\u20133\u00d7 performance boost compared to the previous generation.
\nThe 16 GB RAM version is the most powerful model in the Pi 5 lineup. It is enough to run a Bitcoin node with Lightning, keep several background services active, and avoid hitting memory limits.
\nIn practice, this means the computer does not freeze during multitasking, web interfaces open instantly.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Its own operating system \u2014 Raspberry Pi OS<\/h4>\n

Raspberry Pi 5 runs on Raspberry Pi OS \u2014 the official operating system created by the Raspberry developers themselves. The new version is specially optimized for Pi 5: the interface feels responsive, apps open quickly, and the system runs smoothly.
\nYou can use this system for work, video playback, programming, or a home server. If you plan to set up a node, Pi OS can be replaced with specialized builds such as Umbrel, Start9, or RaspiBlitz, which can be installed in just a few clicks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Run your own Bitcoin node<\/h4>\n

Raspberry Pi 5 can be dedicated to a full Bitcoin node and left running 24\/7. The board will independently synchronize with the network, store a local copy of the blockchain, and give you access to Bitcoin without relying on third-party servers. <\/p>\n

For this setup, you will need a separate SSD, a stable Ethernet connection, and active cooling. The fastest way to start is with a ready-made image \u2014 for example, RaspiBlitz for a Bitcoin and Lightning node, or umbrelOS.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

A separate machine for an Ethereum node<\/h4>\n

Raspberry Pi 5 is also suitable for running a home Ethereum node. It works separately from your main computer, so it does not occupy your laptop with long synchronization and can stay connected to the network at all times. <\/p>\n

For this scenario, the requirements are higher than for a Bitcoin node. It is better to choose the Raspberry Pi 5 version with 16 GB of RAM, connect a fast NVMe SSD through a separate HAT, and install active cooling right away.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Server for AI tools and automations<\/h4>\n

Raspberry Pi 5 can be used as a separate always-on server for AI tools, bots, and background tasks. The board works independently from your main computer: it receives requests, runs scripts, processes webhooks, and performs automations while your laptop is turned off. <\/p>\n

For example, you can install OpenClaw Gateway on a Raspberry Pi. In this setup, the board acts as a control server, while the models themselves run through cloud APIs. Claude Code CLI also runs on Linux ARM64 \u2014 it can be used for terminal-based project work, small scripts, and development tasks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

PCIe support \u2014 connect an SSD<\/h4>\n

Pi 5 now has a PCIe connector. Through it, you can connect an M.2 SSD \u2014 and the computer starts working very differently: it boots in seconds, while files and databases are read many times faster than from a regular microSD card.
\nFor a node, this is especially important. The Bitcoin blockchain already takes up more than 700 GB.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Connect two 4K monitors at the same time
<\/h4>\n

The board has two HDMI outputs, and both can run 4K at 60 Hz simultaneously. If you use the Pi not only as a server, but also as a full desktop computer, you can connect two monitors in 4K quality.
\nThe board also has a service UART port. This is a developer connector that allows direct cable access to the board.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

And that is not all<\/h4>\n

Pi 5 finally has a physical power button. Previously, the board had to be unplugged from the power supply or shut down through the terminal. Now it works like a normal computer: press once to turn it on, press again to turn it off.
\nThere is also a real-time clock, RTC, inside. Pi 5 can now keep accurate time even when disconnected from the network and the internet. For a node, this matters: the blockchain needs correct system time to work properly, and the board can now provide it immediately without waiting for synchronization.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    \nQuick start guide and safety booklet<\/p>\n

    There is no power supply, cables, memory card, or case in the box \u2014 Pi 5 is sold as a standalone board. This is the manufacturer\u2019s standard practice: everyone builds their computer for their own tasks. <\/p>\n

    To get the board running, you need at least:<\/p>\n

    A 27 W USB-C power supply, 5 V \/ 5 A, with Power Delivery support. The official Raspberry Pi power supply is suitable. Regular 18\u201320 W phone chargers will not handle the board under load \u2014 you may get reboots and low-power warnings.
    \nA microSD card from 32 GB for the system \u2014 or, if you plan to run a node, it is better to use a 1+ TB SSD through an M.2 HAT right away.
    \nA micro-HDMI to HDMI cable \u2014 the board uses micro-HDMI ports, not full-size HDMI.<\/p>\n

    Optional, but highly recommended:<\/p>\n

    Raspberry Pi active cooler or a case with a fan. Under constant load, for example as a node or server, Pi 5 without airflow goes into throttling \u2014 this is when the chip lowers its frequency to avoid overheating. As a result, performance drops significantly. For occasional tasks, you can manage without a cooler, but for 24\/7 operation, it is necessary.
    \nA case. A bare board can be easily damaged by static electricity or an accidental short circuit. A case solves this problem.
    \nA battery for the real-time clock, RTC. The board has a dedicated connector \u2014 without the battery, the clock resets after shutdown.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    Pi 5 supports only two versions \u2014 the current Trixie release and the previous Bookworm release. Anything older than Bookworm will not boot. <\/p>\n

    If you already had a microSD card from Pi 4 with an older system, it will need to be rewritten. The easiest way to do this is through Raspberry Pi Imager: the program will download the latest version and prepare the card automatically.<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Will a Raspberry Pi 4 power supply work?” tab_id=”1777471473621-037ed1f8-6982″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    Most likely, no. Pi 4 consumes less power, and its 15 W power supply will be too weak for Pi 5 \u2014 the board may trigger overload protection and show low-voltage warnings. <\/p>\n

    For stable operation, you need a 27 W USB-C power supply, 5 V \/ 5 A, with Power Delivery support. The official Raspberry power supply or a compatible alternative will work.<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Will a Raspberry Pi 4 case fit?
    ” tab_id=”1777471475382-0ba25d05-6077″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    No. Pi 5 has a different connector layout: USB and Ethernet ports have changed places, a PCIe connector for SSDs has been added, and the power button is positioned differently. The old case will not physically fit. <\/p>\n

    You need a case designed specifically for Pi 5 \u2014 for example, the official Raspberry case with a built-in fan.<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Does Pi 5 need active cooling?” tab_id=”1777471477053-4f5595f8-073c”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    Under light load, the board can work without a cooler. But for constant operation \u2014 for example, as a node, home server, or media center \u2014 cooling is required. <\/p>\n

    Without it, the processor heats up and automatically lowers its frequency to avoid overheating. In other words, performance drops significantly, and the board runs slower than it could. <\/p>\n

    There are two options:<\/p>\n
