Got this info from the PiHut people.

Three New Raspberry Pi's Released!
It's here, the one you've all been waiting for: It's Raspberry Pi 4 day. So much has been crammed into the newest version of our favourite SBC, we don't even know where to begin!

The camera, display, A/V jack, POE pins, on board bluetooth and wifi have returned, but there's a tasty list of new additions to the 4. So lets have a quick run down of the exciting new tech on offer:

New 64-bit 1.5GHz quad core Cortex-A72 (Arm v8)
1GB, 2GB or 4GB of memory, your choice
Two new micro HDMI slots for dual screen action at 4K
5V DC power via USB-C (with a new minimum 3A current)
USB 3.0 capability

The new version of the Raspberry pi is out, version 4 (read about it here. The new version is a lot more capable than the last (faster chip, options for more RAM, USB3 ports, faster wifi and ethernet connectivity, etc.), enough so that I think one could use it as a regular computer if you don't have high end requirements. I don't think it's available in North America yet, but it should be in the next few days. This definitely interests me. I wonder if a geek trip to Toronto would be worthwhile when it comes in?

I am in for a Geek trip to some Toronto electronic/computer stores, if we do get one organized.

Mike, I beat you to the RPi4 announcement.  I had already announced it under the General Topics forum messages. :-)

I merged the topics into one.

Looks awesome! I still think about setting up a media server with a Pi sometimes. The dedicated Gigabit Ethernet would definitely be helpful there.
