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.
Actually available, or like 10 pieces per country that cost 300$?
Exciting news and good to see it finally happen. Here is the link to the announcement from the Raspberry Pi blog.
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.
Do you have to go active cooling or will passive still be enough?
