The Raspberry Pi 5 is now available in a new 2GB RAM configuration priced at $50, making it the most affordable option in the Raspberry Pi 5 lineup. Initially launched in 2023, the Raspberry Pi 5 was offered in 4GB and 8GB versions for $60 and $80, respectively. The new 2GB model utilizes a different version of the Broadcom BCM2712 processor, which lacks certain features present in the higher RAM models, thus reducing manufacturing costs. Despite the lower RAM, the 2GB version is expected to perform similarly to its 4GB and 8GB counterparts in most tasks, although users may experience limitations in heavy multitasking or demanding applications. The Raspberry Pi 5 offers significantly improved processing power compared to earlier models, boasting about 150 times the performance of the original Raspberry Pi. A 1GB version of the Raspberry Pi 5 is also planned for future release, though details on its launch and pricing remain unclear.
