The Raspberry Pi needs no special introduction. The new RPI 4 Model B is the latest and greatest Pi produced yet and by far the most popular ARM computer. The new RPI-4 offers ground-breaking increases in processor speed, improved multimedia performance, more memory, and faster connectivity older Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ models. When running as a headless web server, the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B provides comparable performance that can compete with entry-level x86 PC systems. This is largely due to key features that 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, 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. Although users will be limited to ARM specific web applications, this device is extremely powerful and can run a long list of applications without skipping a beat.
