The Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 is an upcoming computer-on-a-module featuring a Broadcom BCM2712 processor, support for up to 16GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage, and connectors that lets you connect the module to a carrier board or other devices to add ports and connectors.

Raspberry Pi hasn't officially introduced the Raspberry Pi CM5 yet, but it looks like a pre-release version of the module is on display at the electronicaFair 2024 show in Germany this week.

A picture of the module shows that it has the same processor as the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer that was launched in 2023 and a physical design that looks a lot like the Raspberry Pi CM4. But it supports up to twice as much memory and four times more onboard storage than the previous-gen computer module and should deliver a significant performance boost thanks to a 2.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 processor (up from the 1.5 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor used in the Raspberry Pi 4 and CM4).

It looks like Raspberry PI will also offer an updated I/O board for the new model =, with two full-sized HDMI ports, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, and an M.2 slot for PCIe NVMe storage.

There's no word on how much the new module or carrier board will cost, or when it will be available. But after making a public appearance like this, it's likely that we won't have to wait long for an official announcement.
