Raspberry Pi Foundation released a new version of Raspberry Pi single-board computer 4B.
The improvement is really significant. RPi 4B supports 4K video, HEVC.H265 decoding, native gigabit ethernet and also two USB 3.0.
We can say, RPi 4B offers more power and better connectivity for the same price as Raspberry Pi 3B Plus.
You can buy RPi 4B with 3 models which are different by amount of RAM – 1 GB for 34 £, 2 GB for 44 £ and 4GB for 54 £.
Update
LibreELEC is supporting RaspberryPi 4B fromLibreELEC 9.2 ALPHA 1 https://libreelec.tv/2019/06/libreelec-9-2-alpha1-rpi4b/
Benchmarks of Raspberry Pi 4B – https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/raspberry-pi-4-specs-benchmarks/
RPi4B has a new processor which was made by 28 nm technology instead of 40 nm. The cooling system was improved in previous version so we can assume the ability of cooling will be the same (or better) so the temperature can be lower of will be similar due to increasing of power – USB 3.0, gigabit ethernet, 4K video, H.265 deconding.
Cnx-software.com shared comparison between RPi 3B Plus and RPi 4B, the comparison is available on https://www.cnx-software.com/2019/06/24/raspberry-pi-4-vs-pi-3-what-are-the-differences/
The RPi 4B is able to enable two screens, but in this case, the 4K is not working. You have to decrease the resolution of screens.
There are 4 USBs – two of them are USB 2.0 and other two are USB 3.0. The power connector is USB Type C instead of MicroUSB, because the USB Type C is enable to delivery more power.
RPi 4B is supporting PoE by PoE HAT, it is the same case like 3B Plus.
