What is the Raspberry Pi 4?
The Raspberry Pi 4 is a great device for many different purposes. It’s low cost allows it to be used by individuals looking to get into programming or STEM careers to start building skills at home without having to invest in costly material. It has plenty of input options, including an HDMI port and four micro USB ports which can be used for power or
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has released a new version of its flagship model, the Raspberry Pi 4. In addition to the models that come with 2GB and 4GB of RAM, there’s a new 8GB model. … You’ll be able to run applications that require more RAM, whether you use the Raspberry Pi to run a server or as a desktop computer.

What is the difference between Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4?
Here’s a full list of the Raspberry Pi 4’s improvements over its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 3 B+:
- Quad-core 1.5GHz Broadcom CPU, up from 1.4GHz in the previous model.
- 500MHz VideoCore VI GPU, up from 400MHz previously.
- A USB Type-C port for power, rather than Micro USB.
- Two Micro HDMI ports which can power two 4K monitors at 30fps, or a single 4K monitor at 60fps alongside a 1080p display.
- Two USB 3 ports and two USB 2 ports, up from four USB 2 ports.
- A Gigabit Ethernet port which is no longer throttled by a USB interface.
- Bluetooth 5.0 rather than 4.1.
- Dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
- A microSD storage card with a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 50 Mbps, up from 25 Mbps.
- A 40 pin GPIO connector with support for three more interfaces; I2C, SPI, and UART.
The Raspberry Pi 4 is available starting today with either 1GB, 2GB, or 4GB of RAM for $35, $45, and $55, respectively.
