Raspberry Pi 5 is the flagship single-board computer featuring a Broadcom BCM2712 processor (4× Cortex-A76 @ 2.4 GHz). Compared to Pi 4 it delivers ~2–3× higher CPU performance. Key additions: RTC with battery connector, PCIe 2.0 FPC (for NVMe SSD via M.2 HAT+), power button, two micro-HDMI ports (4Kp60). Available RAM: 1/2/4/8/16 GB LPDDR4X. With Raspberry Pi AI HAT+ (Hailo-8L) it achieves 13 TOPS, 26 TOPS with Hailo-8.
SBC · serves as: High-level compute, Embedded main processor, Compute.
Which group Raspberry Pi 5 belongs to and how it is built
Compute Modules is a subcategory of hardware components that provide processing power for robotic systems. It encompasses onboard computers, single-board computers (SBCs), AI accelerators, embedded processors, GPU/NPU compute modules, and other units responsible for processing sensor data and executing control logic. These modules form the foundation of modern autonomous, humanoid, and perception-capable robots.
A Single Board Computer (SBC) is a complete computer integrated onto a single board, incorporating a processor, memory, communication interfaces, and I/O. In robotics, SBCs serve as local controllers, software hosts, integration modules, perception processing units, or communication management nodes. They are widely used in embedded systems, prototypes, mobile robots, and educational platforms.
