Raspberry Pi announced today a new variant of the latest Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer with 1GB RAM to provide the community with more flexibility for their Linux and Open Source projects.

Released two years ago, the Raspberry Pi 5 was initially launched in 4GB and 8GB RAM variants, with a 2GB RAM variant released in August 2024, and a 16GB RAM model arriving in January 2025 thanks to the optimized D0 stepping of the Broadcom BCM2712 application processor in the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer.

As of today, you can buy the Raspberry Pi 5 with 1GB RAM. Apart from the 1GB RAM, the new Raspberry Pi 5 features the same specs as the rest of the Raspberry Pi 5 variants, including a quad-core 2.4GHz Arm Cortex-A76 processor with cryptography extensions, dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and a PCI Express port.
