Four years since the launch of the Raspberry Pi 4, the Raspberry Pi 5 has arrived with a performance boost and house silicon that adds support for PCIe 2.0.
Exciting news and good to see it finally happen. Here is the link to the announcement from the Raspberry Pi blog.
Actually available, or like 10 pieces per country that cost 300$?
I know some shops have them for pre-order at the listed price.
60 bucks starting prices seems a bit rough but what do I know. I’m sure I’ll end up buying one. Now that we have exposed PCIe on the normal pi a SATA hat that takes a 12v power brick and powers the pi and a hard drive would be really cool but I doubt anyone but me would look for that.
You still need a special PCIe adapter though, as it’s a special pcie socket.
Looks like it might just be a ribbon cable but I know nothing. I figure the hate would have all the chips to do PCIe to SATA and power, could even probably do Poe on there too but I might be over wishing here.
Do you have to go active cooling or will passive still be enough?
