Raspberry Pi 4
The Raspberry Pi 4 is a single-board computer based on the Broadcom BCM2711 SoC, featuring a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 processor running at 1.5–1.8GHz. It provides improved processing capability over earlier models, with better multitasking and overall system responsiveness.
It includes LPDDR4 RAM options ranging from 1GB to 8GB and uses a microSD card for storage. The board also introduces a more capable I/O subsystem with USB 3.0, true Gigabit Ethernet, and dual micro-HDMI ports supporting up to 4K display output.
The VideoCore VI GPU enables hardware-accelerated video decoding and improved graphics performance compared to previous generations. Combined with higher memory bandwidth and updated connectivity, the system offers more stable multitasking, better media handling, and improved general-purpose computing performance.
