Raspberry Pi 4 is the manufacturer's first motherboard made with 28nm processor technology, whose modern node processing enables a significant increase in processor, multimedia and I/O performance. This makes the Raspberry Pi 4 a real alternative to large home computers. Its novelties include two USB 3.0 ports, 4K@p60 video decoding performance thanks to the new GPU with two micro HDMI outputs and a real gigabit ethernet connection.

The housings of the previous (2,3) series cannot be used for it, and the power supplies can only be used with a conversion cable, since the power connector here has become a USB-C type.

Another special feature is that this version already has 8GB of LPDDR4 memory.

The main technical characteristics of the motherboard:

- CPU: 1.5GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A72
- RAM: 8GB LPDDR4
- GPU: VideoCore VI graphics, H.265 (4kp60) & H.264 (1080p60) decode, H264 (1080p30) encode, OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 graphics
- LAN: True Gigabit Ethernet
- Wifi: 802.11b/g/n/ac standard
- BT: Bluetooth 5.0 & BLE
- USB: 2× USB 3.0 and 2× USB 2.0 ports
- HDMI: 2 × micro-HDMI ports (1 × 4kp60 or 2 × 4kp30)
- Power supply: USB-C connector up to 5V 3A (power supply can be ordered separately, not included)
- PoE capable with the PoE-HAT, which can be purchased separately
