So, all of the above specs mean that the RPi is definitely faster and more capable than ever as a desktop replacement. We also got more processing speed and more RAM options, up to 4GB of fast LPDDR4 memory, dual HDMI outputs, etc. We got a new SoC (the BCM2711), one that finally supported an RGMII interface for a true GbE port, plus a PCI Express port that is used to give USB 3.0 & 2.0 connectivity at useful speeds. But until now, all of these connectivity options had to be accommodated by a single USB 2.0 port on the SoC.īut this year everything changed. Usually the new processor was a bit faster, we got WiFi and BT, then better WiFi, then faster (almost) GbE network, etc. About a month ago the Raspberry Pi 4 was announced, pretty much blind-sighting everybody.įor the last (many) years, since the announcement of the RPi 2, we had been used to relatively minor incremental upgrades every time a new RPi came out.
