Raspberry Pi 500 Delivers Great Performance, Convenient Upgrade To The Raspberry Pi 400


Four years ago already the Raspberry Pi 400 was announced as a Raspberry Pi keyboard computer built around the Raspberry Pi 4, passively-cooled, and all packaged up nicely in a keyboard form factor.

Long story short it's been a mighty fine unit and a big performance upgrade over the Raspberry Pi 400. My main critiques around the Raspberry Pi 500 being that it would be nice if there was an option for at least 16GB of RAM as 8GB really is slim for 2025+ standards... And the lack of any NVMe adapter built-in. Monitoring the SoC temperature and peak clock frequencies also confirmed the great uplift and the Raspberry Pi 500 experiencing sufficient cooling.
