Jeff Geerling will do some weird things like using carrier pigeons against speed, but that's why we like him. Recently, Jeff X-rayed the Raspberry Pi 5, revealing the secrets inside the Raspberry Pi 5's newest and most powerful computer.
Astound! Someone actually gave the Raspberry Pi 5 an X-ray!
Jeff gave an in-depth look at the internals of the PI 5, from the RAM and PCIe interfaces to our new RP1 chip and Ethernet ports"Funny slashes"。
What did the designers of the PI 5 think?
We decided to ask James Adams, the designer of the PI 5, what he thought of X-rays. Would he be shocked to see his work presented naked in front of us?
James Adams, Chief Technology Officer (Hardware), Raspberry Pi:
It's nice to see the complexity of the PI 5 on display in this way – people often don't realize how much is contained on such a board, because it looks fairly small and simple on the surface, but every wire, every trace, every component, and every solder joint has a purpose. You can start to feel the amount of time engineers spend on every part of the system! "
Insider secrets
Did you know that every Raspberry Pi 5 board has James' signature underneath the USB port? It's true. Take your back and take a look. (Don't do it).
