Hello Friends, Yes we have a new High performance Raspberry Pi in Market. We have been using Raspberry Pi 3 or Raspberry Pi zero for our IoT Projects or Home automation projects. Now its time to make use of the high performance Pi with improved processor speed and memory. Lets find out more in this article.
First for those who is not aware of Raspberry Pi, lets see what is Raspberry Pi.
What is a Raspberry Pi?
The Raspberry Pi is a small computer that can do lots of things. You plug it into a monitor and attach a keyboard and mouse. Raspberry Pi is the third best-selling computer brand in the world. The Raspberry Pi is a credit card–sized computer that plugs into your TV or display, and a keyboard and mouse. You can use it to learn coding and to build electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the internet, and playing games. It also plays high-definition video. The Raspberry Pi is being used by adults and children all over the world to learn programming and digital making. You can learn how to set up and use your Raspberry Pi here.
Later in this article we will see where to buy raspberry pi 4 , the raspberry pi 4 price and raspberry pi 4 specs. When you buy raspberry pi 4 you get the board, you need to buy the raspberry pi 4 desktop kit.
Those who are looking for raspberry pi 4 release date, we already have the device released. Raspberry pi 2019 is the newest raspberry pi 4 and it is released on June 2019.
Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the latest product in market and It offers huge increase in processor speed, multimedia
performance, memory, and connectivity compared to the prior-generation of Raspberry Pi series and specifically Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. Still the new model retains backwards compatibility and similar power consumption.
performance comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems.
New raspberry pi 4 specs key features include a high-performance 64-bit quad-core processor, dual-display support at resolutions up to 4K via a pair of micro-HDMI ports, hardware video decode at up to 4Kp60, up to 4GB of RAM,
