Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

by Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 4 has up to 8GB RAM, a quad-core CPU, supports dual displays up to 4K resolution, Gigabit Ethernet, USB3.0, Wi-Fi, BT 5.0, and USB-C power. That's desktop PC performance!

The overall form factor remains the same, so you'll still be able to use HATs and pHATs as before, but due to the changes to the ports on the Raspberry Pi 4, we've designed a brand new Pibow Coupé 4 case in three fetching colour-ways. 

Features

  • 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 CPU (ARM v8, BCM2711)
  • 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB RAM (LPDDR4-3200)
  • On-board dual-band wireless LAN - 2.4/5.0 GHz 802.11 b/g/n/ac
  • On-board Bluetooth 5.0, low-energy (BLE)
  • 2x USB 3.0 ports, 2x USB 2.0 ports
  • Gigabit ethernet
  • 40-pin GPIO header
  • 2× micro-HDMI ports (up to 4Kp60 supported)
  • H.265 (4Kp60 decode)
  • H.264 (1080p60 decode, 1080p30 encode)
  • OpenGL ES 3.1 graphics
  • DSI display port, CSI camera port
  • Combined 3.5mm analog audio and composite video jack
  • Micro-SD card slot
  • USB-C power

As always with new Raspberry Pi models, you'll need the latest version of Raspbian to run on your Raspberry Pi 4. We sell a pre-imaged 32GB microSD card separately, or you can get one with our fully-loaded Raspberry Pi 4 Essentials Kit.

Desktop-level performance

The faster 1.8GHz 64-bit quad-core CPU on the Raspberry Pi 4's Cortex A72 SoC, coupled with the up to 8GB LPDDR4 RAM give performance comparable to entry-level x86 desktop PCs. You'll see significantly faster boot speeds, and much better performance for CPU-heavy tasks like emulation and media centre usage; much snappier all round!

The Raspberry Pi 4 moves to USB-C power meaning that you'll need a new USB-C power supply that can supply 5V at 3A. We've got a couple of different options: a worldwide USB-C power supply, and the official Raspberry Pi power supply.

Significantly faster IO

The Raspberry Pi 4 has two USB 3.0 ports, for up to 10x faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0, perfect for connecting fast peripherals like SSDs and flash drives. There are also two USB 2.0 ports for connecting less speed-dependent peripherals like keyboards and mice.

The ethernet jack on the Raspberry Pi 4 moves to true gigabit speed, for super-speedy wired networking and, as with the Raspberry Pi 3 B+, there's Power-over-Ethernet capability too (requires additional Raspberry Pi PoE HAT).

4K display support, dual micro-HDMI

There are dual micro-HDMI ports that support up to 4Kp60, to use your Raspberry Pi 4 with much larger displays with crisp, sharp, high resolution. Use the H.265 4Kp60 hardware decoding to watch 4K movies in your favourite media centre distro.

For the first time, you'll be able to use dual HDMI displays with the Raspberry Pi. This is great for working on a bunch of different tasks at the same time without having to work in tiny windows.

If you need a micro-HDMI cable to plug your Pi 4 into a display we've got you covered!

Bluetooth 5.0 and wireless LAN

The new chipset supports Bluetooth 5.0 (from 4.2 on the Raspberry Pi 3 B+) and also dual-band 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless LAN, like the previous generation Raspberry Pi, for quick wireless networking with less interference and better reception.

I needed an economical replacement for an old Pi B+ that was running out of oomph for the application I was using it for. A 1Gb Pi 4b fills the bill nicely at a very reasonable price. ... and it really is a **lot** faster! :-)

Great product from pimoroni. I have used it for a mobile robotic cart, a fixed robotic arm, network attached storage, 3d print monitoring & control. I bought this pi4b with 2gb for a mini Observatory called pilomar on instructables.

Although only the 1GB variant is not ideal for complex computing projects, these are good (i.e. cheap) replacements for RPi1 which are (in my case) becoming unreliable. The recent PiOS issues overwhelm RPi1's so the RPi4s 64 bit, quad CPU architecture and higher throughput resolves that problem.

Came quickly and works as expected. Played around with the Breakout garden to test a few sensors, all working straight away. Would definitely buy again

Arrived on time and in perfect working order!! Flashed the sd card for a headless setup and it immediately connected to the wifi!

Item delivered very quickly, it was an accident purchase asa I planed to buy a Pi 5, but return process was really smooth, simply send the item back with original invoice attached in the packaage, received the return in the next 48 hours.

Amazing piece of kit. I upgraded from a Pi 3B so I could play more stuff on Batocera. It plays everything you can throw at it.

I wanted to upgrade by Home Assistant configuration as it was running slowly on a PI 3. A pi 5 was overkill but the pi 4 model b is ideal for current and future home automation.

Totally as my expectation and perfectly work. Now my Raspberry Pi is working as a central computer for my fish tank, controlling the water temperature, turning on and off the LED light, and sending online warning if some issues are detected. But if you would like to run Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm on Raspberry Pi 4, you might be surprised because you cannot find a VNC icon on menu bar even after you turned VNC on via configuration. It doesn't result from your Raspberry Pi's failure but from the change of OS specification. If you would like to use VNC in Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm on Raspberry Pi 4, follow below. ! Only in 64bit version ! $ sudo raspi-config >Advanced options >Wayland >X11 >Reboot A review from a small eastern island country.

The Raspberry Pi is an excellent platform for a wide variety of uses. A full-blown ARM Linux system with a wide array of GPIO and other capabilities (SPI, CAN, I2C, etc.). Easy development tools readily available and lots of onine help for a wide variety of tasks. A great introductory platform for those just starting out and a great SOC platform for those looking to do more advanced microcontroller tasks.

I had purchased this to use for octoprint to control my Creality 3d printer. As expected it met all my needs and is very useful in controlling and printing. I have 3d printed a shell and added a fan to ensure it is always cool.

Absolutely delighted with the fast delivery and everything was up and running withing 20 minutes when i received my Pi (Now controlling my 3D printers). Could not fault any part of the process dealing with Pimoroni!

The Pi 4 Model B is a big step up from the already good Pi 3. The USB and network no longer contend for the same bus, so you can use it for NAS solutions much better.

Wonderful device, and has replaced a fairly hefty and expensive Intel NUC running Homeassistant. As for Pimoroni, everything went smoothly, from purchase to delivery :-)
