About Compute Module 5

Newly upgraded, more powerful
- Upgraded processor BCM2712, quad-core Cortex-A76 64-bit SoC, more powerful performance
- More options for RAM (2GB / 4GB / 8GB / 16GB)
- More options for eMMC Flash (0GB (Lite) / 8GB / 16GB / 32GB / 64GB)
- Faster eMMC Flash storage, up to 200 Mbps data rate
- Optional for certified radio module, supports either PCB trace antenna or external antenna, more suitable for industrial applications
- Adopts B to B connectors, most compatible with Compute Module 4
- Onboard Gigabit Ethernet PHY supporting IEEE1588, suitable for network applications

Note | ① USB 3.0 is equivalent to USB 3.2 Gen1. ② Unless otherwise specified, the Fan header usually is JST-SH type connector. ③ There's PoE header only on the Raspberry Pi official IO board without PoE circuit, which means additional PoE module is required for the official IO board to enable PoE feature. Unless otherwise specified, the PoE feature here stands for integrating 802.3af-compliant PoE circuit (5V/2.5A). |
