Unikeyic Electronics Offers Raspberry Pi 5 in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB Variants Starting at $65.94
There have been many distributors of Raspberry Pi products, but recently I came to know about unikeyic Electronics while writing this article. Based out of Singapore, Unikeyic is a global authorized distributor and stockist specializing in high-quality electronic components, collaborating with over 2,000 suppliers and covering 200,000 unique, in-stock electronic components.
Unikeyic Electronics are also an authorized distributor and reseller of Raspberry Pi products, such as the Raspberry Pi 5. Unikeyic has an inventory of the Raspberry Pi 5, including the various configurations of RAM (e.g., 2GB, 4GB and 8GB) and offers support services such as engineering support, which can prove to be of benefit to customers requiring help for their projects or applications utilizing the Raspberry Pi 5.
Raspberry Pi 5 features the Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Arm Cortex A76 processor @ 2.4GHz, making it up to three times faster in CPU performance than the previous generation Raspberry Pi 4. The RP1 “southbridge” provides the bulk of the I/O capabilities for Raspberry Pi 5, and delivers a step change in peripheral performance and functionality.
