Raspberry Pi 5 16GB Running Well For Larger Workloads, More Multi-Tasking
Earlier this month the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB was announced for finally pushing the Raspberry Pi single board computers beyond an 8GB limit for RAM.
In my tests thus far of the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB it's been working out well and helping the performance of some workloads by reducing the memory pressure / swapping. The Raspberry Pi 5 16GB specifications are otherwise the same as the existing 2GB / 4GB / 8GB RAM versions in using a Broadcom BCM2712 SoC with quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 2.4GHz processor, VideoCore VII graphics, dual 4K@60 HDMI output, and all of the same connectivity. Though one minor difference is the Raspberry Pi 5 16GB reporting a board version of 1.1 rather than 1.0 and in turn using the D0 stepping of the BCM2712 SoC.
