Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the latest product in the popular Raspberry Pi range of computers.
It offers ground-breaking increases in processor speed, multimedia performance, memory, and connectivity compared to the prior-generation Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, while retaining backwards compatibility and similar power consumption.
For the end user, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B provides desktop performance comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems.
This product’s 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, dual-band 2.4/5.0 GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth 5.0, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, and PoE capability (via a separate PoE HAT add-on).
The dual-band wireless LAN and Bluetooth have modular compliance certification, allowing the board to be designed into end products with significantly reduced compliance testing, improving both cost and time to market.
The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B retains the same mechanical footprint as the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B + and the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B.
Completely re-engineered and upgraded
Faster, more powerful
Of the same size and shape as the previous models, you can simply drop your new Raspberry Pi into your old projects for an upgrade. As always, all software is compatible with earlier versions. So, what you create on a Raspberry Pi 4 will also work on any older models you own.
Dual displays
4K output, with the Raspberry Pi 4, you can run two monitors at once — and in 4K, too!
Desktop computer replacement
The speed and performance of the new Raspberry Pi 4 is a step up from earlier models. For the first time, we’ve built a complete desktop experience. Whether you’re editing documents, browsing the web with a bunch of tabs open, juggling spreadsheets, or drafting a presentation, you’ll find the experience smooth and very recognizable, but on a smaller, more energy-efficient, and much more cost-effective machine.
Silent low power consumption
Silent, energy-efficient
The fan-less, energy-efficient Raspberry Pi runs silently and uses far less power than other computers.
Networking
Fast networking
Raspberry Pi 4 comes with Gigabit Ethernet, along with onboard wireless networking and Bluetooth.
USB 3
USB 3
Your new Raspberry Pi 4 has upgraded USB capacity: along with two USB 2 ports you’ll find two USB 3 ports, which can transfer data up to ten times faster.
Choice of RAM
Your choice of RAM
Different variants of the Raspberry Pi 4 are available, depending on how much RAM you need — 1GB, 2GB or 4GB.
Warning as first boot:
You will need a USB-C (USB-type C) power supply of 15 Watts (5.1V / 3.0A DC). We recommend that you use the official Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply.
Check that your system installed on your micro SD card supports the version of your board
