Zotac to introduce CM5-PICO, the world's smallest and most feature-dense Raspberry Pi CM5 computer
Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026 is all set to begin next week at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via in Barcelona, and Zotac will have a new single-board computer (SBC) on display at the trade show.
Zotac will be introducing the CM5-PICO computer powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module (CM5) at ISE 2026. The company claims this is the world's smallest and most feature-dense CM5-based SBC with the goal of "delivering strong options, flexible form factors, industrial-grade durability, and availability through January 2036".
The Raspberry Pi CM5 is a system-on-module (SoM) comprised of a Broadcom BCM2712 quad-core Cortex-A76 ARM CPU running at 2.4 GHz, which can be paired with up to 16 GB of LPDDR4x-4267 RAM. The CM5 can drive 30 GPIO signals and brings support for Vulkan 1.2 and USB-C power delivery.
According to Zotac, the CM5-PICO comes in a passively cooled aluminum chassis that measures 114.8 x 76 x 31 mm. The CM5-PICO offers two full-size HDMI ports that support 4K out, Gigabit LAN, dual USB 3.2 ports, and a USB Type-C port.
Additionally, the CM5-PICO board offers a 40-pin Raspberry Pi HAT header, RS232 header, dual CSI-2 camera interfaces, and a PWM fan header. The board also features one Key-M 2280 and one Key-B 3024 PCIe modules that allow connecting NVMe SSDs, 4G/5G modems, and dedicated NPUs for AI inference.
The CM5-PICO finds applications in kiosks, digital signage, industrial IoT gateway, edge AI inferencing, and computer vision among others.
Apart from the CM5-PICO, Zotac will also show off its new Edge AI portfolio comprised of
