Raspberry Pi continues to beef up its offering. And after launching the Raspberry Pi 5 in September 2023, the company is launching the Compute Module 5, a stripped-down (literally) version of the Pi 5. While the general public is mostly familiar with the classic versions of Raspberry Pi microcomputers, it also offers Compute Module versions. And the Compute Module 5 is the new model based on the Raspberry Pi 5.

A product that targets specific uses

“The Compute Module 5 gives you everything you love about the Raspberry Pi 5, but in a smaller form factor,”, Raspberry Pi explains. We still have a 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 with four cores clocked at 2.4 GHz, a VideoCore VII GPU, supporting OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan 1.3, etc. However, the Compute Module 5 offers a form factor that is more suited to certain uses, such as industrial applications or embedded systems. The Compute Module 5 may also be a better fit for those who need a different set of peripherals than what comes standard on the Raspberry Pi 5.

A format that suits a significant portion of Raspberry Pi customers

In any case, from a commercial point of view, this product is very important. Indeed, according to Raspberry Pi data, 28% of its microcomputers are sold to enthusiasts and the education sector, while 72% of the units are sold to the industrial sector and for embedded systems.

The Compute Module 5 is marketed at a starting price of $45. But the company offers several options for storage memory and RAM. Otherwise, Raspberry Pi also offers a complete development kit.

• Raspberry Pi has just launched the Compute Module 5
• Based on the Raspberry Pi 5 launched in September 2025, this module offers a more compact format and is more suited to industrial applications and embedded systems
• This is a very important product for the company, since only 28% of its units are purchased by enthusiasts and the education sector
• The remaining 72% are purchased for industrial applications and embedded systems, the target customers for the Compute Module 5
