The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5. This is a smaller and modular version of the Raspberry Pi 5 computer.

Raspberry Pi is better known for its single-board computer with a ton of ports sticking out. The most recent of which is the Raspberry Pi 5, which was

The CM5 uses a BCM2712 Cortex-A76 64-bit SoC running at 2.4 GHz and has memory options from 2 GB through to 16 GB of SDRAM, although the latter won't arrive until 2025, and 8, 16, 32, or 64 GB of eMMC flash memory. There is also a CM5Lite version with no eMMC flash memory.

Hot on the heels of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 release, EDATec has announced something that we wished was included as standard. EDATec has designed a $7 active cooler ( ED-CM5ACOOLER) which offers passive and active cooling to the flagship Compute Module board.

As with previous versions of Raspberry Pi’s flagship SBCs, there is now a Compute Module of the Raspberry Pi 5. The CM5 offers a smaller form factor and enables an easier use for industrial and embedded applications.

It's been a little over four years since Raspberry Pi Foundation released a Compute Module. That changes today with the launch of Raspberry Pi's Compute Module 5.

The new compute module's lineage stretches back a decade, to a time when Raspberry Pi was still establishing itself as a DIY darling. The Raspberry Pi Foundation realized there was demand for a more compact device without the expansive I/O setup.
