I'm hungry so I need to eat some fruit. Ah! Which one should I eat: banana or orange? Oranges somehow don't taste as good as tangerines, and I'm sick of bananas because I eat them too much. I want to eat raspberries. Oh yeah, I can order them online. Ah, 15,000 won for two packs. Oh, I guess I should just eat bananas. Oh, by the way, why haven't the British raspberries I ordered a few weeks ago arrived? It's time to come. Well, it’s finally here. Imported agricultural products. Hello, this is Dr. K. Raspberry Pi 5, the successor to Raspberry Pi 4, was released four years later. The Raspberry Pi 4 came out in mid-2019, and the Raspberry Pi 5 was released around the end of 2023. The box size has become smaller and performance has improved significantly, so I'm really looking forward to it. In the case of Raspberry Pi 4, there were a lot of twists and turns. After it was released, I made a laptop with it in the early days of my YouTube channel and the number of subscribers increased a lot, but after that, there were many twists and turns, such as the semiconductor crisis, which made it really difficult to purchase, and the price doubled, and even now, it is not easy to buy it at regular price. . However, the Raspberry Pi 5, which is much more powerful and has more features, was released like this. And of course, the performance was excellent, but the size was not larger, so it was like this. This is the official Raspberry Pi cooler. In the past, I overclocked the Raspberry Pi 4 and used an ice tower cooler or other coolers from other companies, but now an official cooler has been released. It is also glued like this and comes in a paper case. Oh, it's really hard to tear it off cleanly. It doesn't seem to be much different from the previous version, but let's take a look and see what the differences are. Now, first of all, this size hole has to match with the screw hole, and it seems to be almost right. This must be same so that I can use it in the same way as the products I modified. Still, I should definitely check it out. Yes, because the size is right, if I just change the board of the bartop I made before, it will become a bartop with much more powerful performance. The port location also changed like this. The positions of the LAN port and USB port have been changed, the 40-pin GPIO pin is the same, and the Type C terminal and dual HDMI are the same. And just by looking at the appearance, it seems that the main process size has become larger. And the heat sink is a little bigger, so there is a difference, and a new power button has appeared like this. The power button, which wasn't there before, and the micro SD slot on the back are in the same location. And the slot for connecting the camera and display has been changed so that two displays can be connected in a smaller size here, and a camera can be connected at the same time. Now, there is even a terminal for connecting PCIe, so you can connect an SSD. Oh, and the 3.5mm headphone jack is gone, which is a bit disappointing. If it has this, it can be connected to a cathode ray tube or AV device, but it's a shame it's missing. In fact, with this performance, I was wondering if it would be possible to enjoy retro games more perfectly by connecting it to an old monitor because it can now run a GameCube. It's a bit of a shame that this AV jack is gone Now, let’s take a look at the exact specifications. The chipset was upgraded from BCM2711 to BCM2712, and the CPU was upgraded from the previous Raspberry Pi 4 quad-core Cortex-A72 1.8GHz to quad-core A76 2.4GHz. Previously, in the case of Raspberry Pi 4, overclocking was possible stably up to about 2.2 GHz, but now it is possible to stably overclock up to 3 GHz. Now, the difference in GPU has increased significantly. Raspberry Pi 4's GPU has increased significantly from VideoCore VI 500MHz to VideoCore VII 800MHz, and Vulkan is also supported from 1.0 previously to 1.2. Now, dual HDMI Previously, when using two devices at the same time, the second one dropped to 4K 30 frames, but this time, 4K 60HZ is supported at the same time. And the RAM And in the case of Raspberry Pi 4, there were four types of RAM: 1, 2, 4, and 8GB, but this time, there are two models, 4GB and 8GB. And the speed was improved from 3200MHz on Raspberry Pi 4 to 4267 this time. And the speed of Micro SD has also improved, from 40~50Mbps for Raspberry Pi 4 to 80~90Mbps for Raspberry Pi 5. It has almost doubled. In the case of USB 3.0, the Raspberry Pi 4 shared the 5GBps bandwidth of the USB 3.0 port, but this time, 5Gbps is applied to each. Now that there is a PCIe connector, you can now connect an M.2 SSD via a ribbon cable. Now, let's find out how much the Raspberry Pi has been upgraded from 4 to 5. If there's one thing that hasn't gotten better Previously the operating power was 5V 3A, this time it is 5V 5A This is a bit ambiguous because it is not easy to find a 5V 5A adapter. However, if you look at the 45W PD charger that we easily use and the 45W PD charger that I am currently using, it only supports 3A at 5V. Since 3A is applied at 15V, 3A at 5V is supported. And recently, the PD charger that I use in my mini PC Khadas supports only 3A. it is also a 45W adapter 15V 3A However, it cannot be applied more than 5A. If you look at this too, it is 5V 3A. you need to purchase another adapter to achieve maximum performance. This is another problem as the PD adapter we commonly use does not work. Other than this one problem, most of the features have been upgraded. And you have to use a dedicated active cooler. If you overclock on a board of the same size, it can reach 3GHz. Unlike before, there is a hole like this for the cooler. So, fit to this hole and connect it here, It's correct to install it like this but I was wondering what to do for a while. The lid is like this After installing it Now, let’s test it by burning the OS to the SD card using the Raspberry Pi Imager. The micro SD port speed has also been doubled, and the CPU speed has also increased, so booting speed is expected to be significantly faster. Now, let’s install the OS and try using it. Yes, I have used various adapters, but in the case of PD chargers like this, when booting and moving to another screen, the voltage drops intermittently, preventing booting, or even if it boots, it turns off mid-use. This PD charger that supports 5V 3A was almost difficult to use, but this adapter that comes with a fixed 5V 3A charger could be used normally. It never turned off during booting, nor did it turn off when in use, but a low voltage error message appeared. I ran a benchmark with this to see if there was any decrease in performance, and there was no significant difference in the benchmark scores. You may need a 5V 5A charger if you are overclocking or something like that, but for general use, 5V 3A does not degrade performance, and although I have not used it for a long times, there were no major problems. And now I was in a hurry to get another 5V 5A adapter, but it's not easy to get type-C 5V 5A. So, when you buy this product, I recommend that you buy an adapter together. There is nothing that cannot be done So I immediately made my own adapter again. I made an adapter by soldering it like this and just connecting the Type C cable. Yes, so I improvised a 5.5mm Type C adapter like this. Yes it works well After trying it out, Now let's try booting Raspberry Pi 5. Connect like this Now, the keyboard and mouse are also available exclusively for Raspberry Pi. Now, connect the dedicated keyboard and mouse like this. Yes, I will set it up like this and turn it on. Before booting, let’s compare booting with Raspberry Pi 4. In the case of the Raspberry Pi 4, since the Raspberry Pi 5 has such a powerful cooling fan, I will also mount the Raspberry Pi 4 in the metal armor case and compare the booting speed and simple performance of the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. Now, let's try booting at the same time. For now, let's turn on the stopwatch as soon as I boot at the same time. One, two, three Wow, 14 seconds Is it great, right? Still booting. Yes, 36 seconds shows a huge difference in booting speed. Now, let’s try running Geekbench. Now, let's try running them at the same time. Yes, this is not done with single core yet, but that's already halfway to multi-core. There really is a big difference. Yes, this is the result Wow, there really is a huge difference. Raspberry Pi 4's single core score is 251 points and multi-core score is 608 points. Raspberry Pi 5's single core score is 795 points and multi-core score is 1686 points. You can think of it as almost double. Now, since the SD card speed has also become faster, Let's compare the micro SD speed as well. Now, if you go into the Raspberry Pi diagnostic tool, Let's run the diagnostic program again like this. Both of it's results showed that it passed, but if you look at the actual results, Yes, I am currently using the same micro SD, and if you look at it, the writing speed is 33Mbps. And if you look at the random write, read 950 points and 5100 points each and Raspberry Pi 5, the write speed of 45Mbps is not as high as you think. Random write IOPS around 1000 points and in the case of random leads, it still shows that they are ahead by about 1,500 points. You've seen this comparison so far, and just looking at the Geekbench score, the performance has increased by more than 2 times, and you've seen the booting speed, right? There is such a big difference that even when the Pi 4 came out, it was a very cost-effective single board computer. Now, for very simple tasks and simple programming, I think Raspberry Pi 5 can replace the desktop to some extent. Now, let’s take a look at how it feels when actually using Raspberry Pi 5. The current OS is not much different from previous OS of Raspberry Pi OS. When first turned on, the cooling fan makes a loud noise and spins at full speed. The sound itself is quite loud, but it does not spin when idling, and it spins when the temperature rises to a certain degree, but it is not a big concern. There are probably some people who are new to Raspberry Pi through Raspberry Pi 5. Now, if you click here and run the Chromium web browser, you will see something like this. When installing the operating system on Windows or Mac through the Raspberry Pi Imager, the currently installed OS is this, and you can insert a micro SD card here and burn it. However, if you select Korean like this during the first installation, it will be broken. However, if you press N, N here and reboot again, the Korean environment will appear just like it is now. Now, if you look here, the Korean input automatically works like this. In the past, you had to install it separately, but now the Korean input works automatically just like this. You can change it like this by pressing the right Alt key. So the first thing you need to do is install Pi-Apps Those of you who have used Raspberry Pi a lot will know it If you go to the Pi-Apps GitHub homepage like this, you will see a command line to install Pi-Apps. Click to copy Open the terminal and paste it here. If you click this, Pi-Apps will be installed automatically. You can install various necessary apps through Pi-Apps. And there is nothing special to touch on the basic settings, but it will be helpful to install recommended software such as Firefox or Libre Office, and if you use a 4K monitor, download this 4K wallpaper. The current wallpaper is a 1080P wallpaper, so download this as well. I hope so. Well, there are many helpful programs, still, there are many more helpful programs in Pi-Apps. You can also use emojis There is also the GIMP program, a famous image editing program. There are Cura programs that are widely used in 3D printers and there are also many other programs Games include Doom 3 and the Chiaki, PlayStation remote app. Minecraft Pi for Raspberry Pi Currently, PPSSPP I have installed Steam link You can install various apps like this There are so many different programs like Filezilla and Team Viewer. Libre Office and WPS Office are also famous, Programming, Arduino and Notepad Plus Plus is also famous program. It is widely used in Windows. If you look at the tool at the end, there are many things. There are emulators like Wine, BalenaEtcher, and Geekbench 6, which I used. And another thing that allows you to install apps that are not in Pi-Apps is PiKiss. This is what came out first, and then this Pi-Apps came out. For those who simply use a PC, just using what I've explained now can be enough to use it like a desktop. If you go to system tools you will find PiKiss Now, you can install various things from PiKiss, but it is currently slightly incompatible with Raspberry Pi 5. Now there is Diablo 2 and many others, and I have tried a few and this Dolphin emulator. If you install the Dolphin emulator here, it won't run either, and if you try to install the PS2 emulator, it will say that you need Vulkan. So, go to Configure and Vulkan press y Yes, if you wait a bit like this, several types will appear. In my case, I installed stable, but this is the current state of installation. Yes, even if I install it, PS2 Aethersx2 does not install itself. Anyway, since this PiKiss has been out for a long time, there are some incompatibilities, but if you search here, you may also be able to find some more helpful programs. Now, I said that this Raspberry Pi 5 can be used like a desktop, but since it is just a simple task, the YouTube website runs well like this. Yes, if you watch my video 1080P play works well up to 1080P without any interruption. However, in order to test the 4K video, I connected it to a 4K monitor, and when I ran it on the 4K monitor, I played several videos. But the 4K setting does not appear. Of course, 1080P works fine. I'm currently running it in Firefox, but neither Chromium nor Firefox works. Yes, watching YouTube in 1080P is fine, but watching it in 4K is a bit difficult. You can also watch Netflix just fine. In the case of Netflix, even if I wait a while, the resolution does not increase. I think it goes up to 720P. No matter how long I wait, it can't be converted from 720P to 1080P. What about web surfing? Now, the website opens fine, right? Yes, it really can't be compared to the old Raspberry Pi 4. They say it's twice as much, but it feels like it's bigger than twice as much. Well, it's so simple to use that it can replace a desktop. I think that's about it. Now, let’s take a look at the 4K monitor environment and what it looks like when used in dual mode. I tried connecting 4K monitors and 1080P monitors together. You can also use it with this configuration Now, in the case of the background screen, the 4K monitor on the left can be set to the Aurora 4K background screen like this. Now, I set it up like this, and if you look at it, the monitor on the right is a 1080P 144Hz monitor, and 144Hz is also on like this. Of course, there is not much use for 144Hz, but I think it would be a bit difficult to have one YouTube video on this side and two Netflix videos on this side. Yes, playing two at the same time is a bit difficult, but playing one is okay, but playing them at the same time is a bit difficult. Now, this one was also set at 480P. I got one like this in 1080P and it works well. It's a bit difficult to do it at the same time. Anyway, 4K is supported on both sides, but simultaneous use is not possible. Now, let’s look at various usage environments. Now, one of the many uses of the Raspberry Pi is gaming. especially retro games It supports a wide variety of controllers, so almost any controller you have will be recognized. PSP and PPSSPP installed through Pi-Apps currently do not support Vulkan. In the case of this PSP, Vulkan has much higher performance, so it is difficult to 2X the PSP in OpenGL. If you look at it 2X 2X is a bit difficult. It doesn't get 40 frames about 30 frames Because it doesn't work with Vulkan, it doesn't perform as well as it should. So I have no choice but to play PSP 1X 1X at exactly 60 frames. If Vulkan is supported, I think it will be enough to be 3X the PSP. Now, if you look at the PSP like this, other emulators are not installed in Pi-Apps or PiKiss so first try installing the Dolphin emulator. Dolphin emulator When you download the Dolphin Emulator, the installation command for Linux appears like this. Copy this command here Paste it and press enter Dolphin emulator will be installed And now you have to input each line one by one like this. In my case, it appears like this because it is currently installed, but in other people's case, it is installed gradually. So there are many other things like this You can do this by entering one line at a time. Yes, and also enter this command And now to build, with these commands use these commands and finally cmake .. If you enter it here, the installation will be completed. Now, let’s run the Dolphin emulator. It comes out normally, right? But the problem is that Vulkan is not supported. This also supports only OpenGL, but no hardware adapter can be selected. Game Cube first Yes, but this Legend of Zelda, the Wind Waker This thing runs really well. It comes out at almost 29 frames, right? There are points where it slows down a bit, but it mostly maintains well at 29 and 30. There are some points where it breaks slightly. Still, it mostly stays at 30 frames. Yes, The Legend of Zelda is really good. Now, looking at this, I think the Nintendo Wii will do well too. When I played it on Orange Pi before, I think it came out at almost 60 frames. It only comes out around 36 or 40. Yes, it's not a Dolphin emulator specifically for Raspberry Pi, it's a different Linux emulator, and neither the drivers nor the graphics drivers are supported. It seems to be working at this speed right now. When not in full screen, the frame rate still goes up slightly. When I played it before on Orange Pi 5, Super Mario Bros. Wii came out at almost 60 frames. At that time, the Orange Pi 5 benchmark single core scored 551 points and multi core scored 2273 points. Single-core is slightly lower, but multi-core is higher, and since it is done on Android, I think there will be a difference in the fact that the driver is better supported. Currently, I think that the Raspberry Pi 5 will be able to play at normal speed if an emulator is released specifically or supported by RetroPie. Now, the PS2 emulator is You must download the Aethersx2 app image. Now, download the app image latest app image here. chmod and +x as shown here Now, in this download folder, open the current folder in terminal and then Sometimes this happens when you copy. Chmod +x and Control-C copy the name. After pasting and giving permission, You can double-click this, but even if you double-click, it won't run. You need to install the app image kit and Fuse. Enter these two commands and once the fuse is installed, you can now run it. Now it came out like this Now, this may also have a graphics problem. Vulcan Failure comes OpenGL Yes it can't This PS2 emulator is not currently available here So, a general purpose OS other than the Raspberry Pi OS. Let me install Ubuntu. So in my case, I installed Ubuntu Desktop 23.1 64-bit image. I'll go into Ubuntu and try it. Well, I booted into Ubuntu like this. Cooling fan speed cannot be adjusted in Ubuntu yet. If there is a later update, the cooler will probably be adjusted as well. I look for the settings, but I don't see those settings. Ubuntu is also quite complete. The OS is currently installed on a micro SD, but I'm not sure if it's slow. I think it would be faster if installed on an SSD. Yes, it is currently set up like this with Wi-Fi, but if you connect a wired LAN, you can use it a little more comfortably. You can do it like I explained a little while ago on the PS2 emulator. Yes, it's in the download here Now, it runs like this. This is how the driver is captured in Vulkan. First, try running it with OpenGL. Oh yes, OpenGL doesn't work. Vulcan V3D Yes, loading is quite slow now. Oh, it can't be moved on from here. Yes, then let's try changing it to the one below. Yes, after I do this, it will proceed now. Yes, if you look at the frame rate now, 16 frame it is not at a level where you can play a game. I think it might be a driver issue with the PS2 emulator. So far, it is a bit difficult to use it for retro games, and it can play Game Cube games well, but it is difficult to use it over the Game cube level for now, and we will have to wait and see after emulators are developed. Yes, we looked at various aspects of Raspberry Pi 5 like this. Although it feels a bit lacking, those who only do simple tasks such as web surfing will not have much trouble using this Raspberry Pi 5 like a desktop. Because they provide quite a lot of programs, the Raspberry Pi with 4GB RAM that I am currently using is priced at $60 and the Raspberry Pi with 8GB RAM is priced at $80, so if the exchange rate goes down a little, you can use 8GB RAM for $80 for general purposes. There will be no shortage If you feel that it is a little lacking, I think you will be able to use it without any problems by overclocking to about 3GHz. It is true that the performance is somewhat inferior to the Orange Pi 5 that I reviewed last time, both numerically and in terms of actual use. But there is a downside to this Orange pi. Software support And the best advantage of this Raspberry Pi is software support and versatility. Since there are a lot of programs out there and a powerful front end like RetroPie, I think it will be possible to overcome the slight difference in performance, and after overclocking to 3GHz and if a perfect version of Retro Pie is released, and it would also be good to make it into a bartop that can play most fighting games. Also, because GPIO is supported, it is much easier to make a bartop than using other single board computers and has many advantages. The Orange Pi 5 4GB model is a little more expensive at $88, and there is a difference of about $28, so those who want slightly higher performance can use the Orange Pi 5. Those who are satisfied with this level of performance can use the Raspberry Pi 5. And since it is highly compatible and most of the software that has been used so far will now be released in accordance with Raspberry Pi 5, it will be a single board computer that is much more anticipated. If the exchange rate was lowered a little more, $60 would be really worth buying. And currently, I bought this product directly from a British online shopping mall, and it is also listed on AliExpress, but the price is very expensive and it is not sold on eBay or Amazon yet, so I think it would be best to wait for it to be released domestically. Anyway, the Raspberry Pi 5 is a bit disappointing, but it is still in its early days and if the software comes out a little more advanced, and additionally, an ARM version of Windows 11 will probably be released, so you can try installing Windows 11 later, and Android as well, it will probably be ported, so if Android is ported, it will really be worth it for this price range. To use Android smoothly, it would be better to use 8GB RAM, but since the price is the same as this 4GB product, the Raspberry Pi 5 may be better. It was Dr. K so far. Next time, I will come back with more informative and helpful IT information reviews and novel DIYs. Please subscribe and like.
