Raspberry Pi 500 Delivers Great Performance, Convenient Upgrade To The Raspberry Pi 400
I ran over 140 Linux benchmarks for this Raspberry Pi 400 vs. Raspberry Pi 500 comparison. All the data in full can be found via this result page.
The Raspberry Pi 500 was more than twice as fast as the Raspberry Pi 400, both on the latest Raspberry Pi OS.
The Raspberry Pi 500 was successfully running at the rated 2.4GHz clock speed for the Cortex-A76 cores within the Broadcom SoC. These final monitoring metrics are over the span of the 24 hours (or 48 hours with the Raspberry Pi 400) for running all nearly 150 benchmarks.
On average the SoC temperature under load was 58 degrees, similar to the 56 degree average of the Raspberry Pi 400 but with much stronger performance on this new model.
At $90 USD the Raspberry Pi 500 is a great ARM Linux keyboard computer option delivering much better performance than the prior Raspberry Pi 400. It's a great option though as mentioned the icing on the cake would be if there was a 16GB model available as well as the option of NVMe M.2 storage. In any event this is another win for the Raspberry Pi team and those wanting to learn more or order can do so at RaspberryPi.com.
Thanks to Raspberry Pi for sending out the Raspberry Pi 500 review sample and in a follow-up article will also be looking at the new Raspberry Pi Monitor.
