Description
Raspberry Pi 5 2GB: the full Pi 5 architecture for focused projects
The Raspberry Pi 5 2GB features exactly the same board as the 4, 8 or 16 GB versions: Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Cortex-A76 processor at 2.4 GHz, VideoCore VII GPU, dual 4Kp60 output, PCI Express and RP1 I/O chip. Only the amount of memory changes. For a light server, a robot, a connected camera or a learning station, 2 GB of LPDDR4X-4267 is more than enough, and you benefit from a processor two to three times faster than the Raspberry Pi 4's.
Highlights
- Cortex-A76 CPU at 2.4 GHz with 512 KB of L2 cache per core and 2 MB of shared L3 cache.
- VideoCore VII GPU at 800 MHz : OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.2, 4Kp60 HEVC decoding.
- Two 4Kp60 displays over micro-HDMI, with HDR support.
- PCIe 2.0 x1 for an NVMe SSD via an M.2 HAT: boot and storage far faster than a microSD.
- Two USB 3.0 ports usable simultaneously at 5 Gbit/s, plus two USB 2.0.
- Power button and real-time clock built in (external battery optional).
- Guaranteed production by Raspberry Pi until at least January 2036.

Which one to choose? Raspberry Pi 5 2GB, 8GB, 16GB or Raspberry Pi 500
| Model | Memory | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi 5 2GB | 2 GB | Pi-hole, light Home Assistant, robotics, camera, learning |
| Raspberry Pi 5 8GB | 8 GB | Smooth desktop, Docker containers, media server |
| Raspberry Pi 5 16GB | 16 GB | Local AI, virtual machines, large datasets |
| Raspberry Pi 500 | 8 GB | Same processor built into a keyboard, plug-and-play desktop computer |
The processor is identical on all versions: memory makes the difference as soon as you open many tabs or run several services. For everyday office use, aim for at least 4 GB. Find the full range on our Raspberry Pi 5 page.
Compatibility and pitfalls
- Power supply : a USB-C 5 V 5 A source is recommended. With a 3 A power supply, the total current of the USB ports is limited to 600 mA.
- Cooling : under sustained load, add an active cooler or a ventilated case, never both on the same fan connector.
- Cameras and displays : the Pi 5 connectors use the small 22-pin format. A camera with a 15-pin ribbon requires an adapter cable.
- Pi 4 accessories : Pi 4 cases and PoE HATs are not compatible (ports and PoE header relocated).
- PCIe : the connector is an FFC ribbon; an NVMe SSD is mounted via an M.2 HAT or an equivalent board.
- Bare board : the Pi 5 is supplied without a case or accessories.
Recommended accessories
- Official 27 W USB-C power supply : negotiates the 5 V 5 A profile and unlocks 1.6 A on the USB ports.
- Official fan / heatsink (Active Cooler) : PWM-controlled fan for use without a case.
- Official Raspberry Pi 5 case : built-in fan, to choose instead of the Active Cooler.
- Official M.2 HAT+: for a 2230 or 2242 NVMe SSD.
- official micro-HDMI to HDMI cable : essential for connecting an HDMI display.
Uses and projects
- Network ad blocker such as Pi-hole or AdGuard Home: 2 GB is very comfortable.
- Home automation : a reasonably sized Home Assistant installation.
- Vision and robotics : official camera, sensors on the GPIO and motors.
- Beginner station : Python programming and electronics.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB slower than the 8GB?
No, the processor and GPU are identical. The difference only appears when applications need more than 2 GB of memory.
Does the Raspberry Pi 5 have a GPU?
Yes, an 800 MHz VideoCore VII compatible with OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.2, capable of driving two 4Kp60 displays.
What ports does the Raspberry Pi 5 offer?
2 micro-HDMI, 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C power, 40-pin GPIO, 2 MIPI camera or display connectors, PCIe, microSD, fan, RTC battery and UART.
Can it boot from an SSD?
Yes, from an NVMe SSD via an M.2 HAT or from a USB 3.0 SSD, after setting the boot order.
Which power supply should I choose?
The official 27 W USB-C power supply, which delivers 5 V 5 A and can power demanding USB peripherals.
Is the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB enough for office work?
For text and a few tabs, yes, but 4 GB or more offers far greater comfort.
