New $120 16GB Raspberry Pi 5 is for the people who use it like an everyday PC

Quick Summary:

But at $120, the new board has to compete with a wider universe of mini PCs.

Raspberry Pi CEO Eben Upton writes that the 16GB version of the Pi 5 is possible because of other tweaks made to the d0 stepping of the Pi 5's processor, plus an updated LPDDR4X chip from Micron that could fit eight 16 Gbit RAM dies inside a single package that could fit on the Pi 5's board.

The 16GB version of the Pi 5 includes the revised "d0" stepping of the Pi 5's BCM2712 processor.
