Raspberry Pi 4 Is Here
A new operating system has been released to support the new device.
Eben Upton, the founder of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, announced the next major update to the single-board computer. Raspberry Pi 4 is here.
The new model has the same form factor and pricing. Yes! It’s still being sold for $35. But it has everything else improved. Pi 4 features a 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 CPU running at 1.5Ghz. Now you can get up to 4GB of LPDDR4 SDRAM and full-throughput Gigabit Ethernet. It has two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports. You can now connect two monitors running at 4K resolution. It also has 4Kp60 hardware decode of HEVC video. Instead of using the old micro-USB for power, it’s now using USB-C.
Raspberry Pi foundation has also released a new Raspbian operating system for this device. “To support Raspberry Pi 4, we are shipping a radically overhauled operating system, based on the forthcoming Debian 10 Buster release. This brings numerous behind-the-scenes technical improvements, along with an extensively modernized user interface, and updated applications including the Chromium 74 web browser.”
