Raspberry Pi, also known as RPi or Raspi is a series of low-cost, credit-card-shaped computers developed in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation (2008) in association with Broadcom. The first generation of Raspberry Pi was released in 2012. Raspberry Pi 5 is the latest version of this series, coming at the end of October.
The new pocket computer has lots of cool features and is the first one to use the company’s own super-fast processor which is 2-3 times faster than the older version.
