Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8 GB RAM

Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB RAM

The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 8GB improves the overall Raspberry Pi experience.

The 8GB LPDDR4 RAM makes it ideal for intensive multitasking, AI projects, and cloud apps. 

The RPI 4 8GB is powered by a Broadcom BCM2711 Quad-Core Cortex-A72 ARM v8-A 64-bit processor that runs at 1.5GHz and supports Python.

The Raspberry Pi 4 8GB supports dual 4K monitors via micro-HDMI and can broadcast or play 4K videos at 60 frames per second using H.265 decoding.

Dual-band WiFi 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz, Gigabit Ethernet, and Bluetooth 5.0 guarantee constant connectivity and allow you to browse, stream, and work without lag.

Also, RPI 4b contains two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 connectors for quicker data transfers and increased peripheral connectivity.

The 40-pin GPIO header connects sensors, motors, and other components, making it easy for robots, smart home projects, and DIY electronics.

The Raspberry Pi 4B 8GB is based on the ARMv8-A 64-bit architecture and supports Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and even lightweight Windows versions.

To power this Pi 4 single board computer, all you need is a 5V/3A USB-C converter, which ensures smooth and stable operation.
