Halbleiter-Krise: Raspberry Pi 4 mit 4 GB weitestgehend ausverkauft - Hardwareluxx (2024)

FAQs

How good is Raspberry Pi 4 CPU? ›

The latest version of the Debian-based OS is Rasbian Buster, released to go with the Pi 4. We've used the HardInfo Blowfish encryption CPU benchmark to test multiple generations of the Raspberry Pi, but the Pi 4's performance was nothing short of astonishing. It completed the benchmark in just 6.88 seconds.

The Raspberry Pi 5 4GB performs slightly better (0-10%) than the 8GB version at default 2.4 GHz and the gap widens to >100% for certain workloads when overclocked. These workloads will see a dramatic reduction in performance when overclocking the 8GB board.

The Raspberry Pi 4, with a quad-core Cortex-A72 processor, is described as having three times the performance of a Raspberry Pi 3.

The outcome of these tests is simple. If you really need 50 tabs open in your browser, then buy a Raspberry Pi 5 or just use your desktop. For 99% of users, a Raspberry Pi 5 4GB is plenty for basic tasks and for many maker projects.

It does not replace the computer, and the processor is not as fast. It is a time consuming to download and install software i.e.; unable to do any complex multitasking. Not compatible with the other operating systems such as Windows.

For low-intensity uses, the Pi 4 will be much better value because the Pi 5 will be overkill. Thankfully, there are countless low-intensity Raspberry Pi projects to sink your teeth into, so the Raspberry Pi 4 won't be going anywhere (at least, not while there's no 2GB or 1GB version of the Raspberry Pi 5).

Raspberry Pi 4 B 4GB: The Former Champion

You won't see too much of a difference for basic desktop use - 2GB is plenty there - but if you find yourself multitasking the extra RAM will definitely come in handy.

Re: Purchasing a RPi: How much GB RAM would I need? Normally I'd recommend the 2GB version, but the 4GB version will also work.

Raspberry Pi 5 is faster and more powerful than prior-generation Raspberry Pis, and like most general-purpose computers, it will perform best with active cooling.

First, the Raspberry Pi 4B has four different options for available RAM: 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, or 8 GB. The Raspberry Pi 400 only has a 4-GB RAM option. This won't matter much when used as a desktop CPU of course, but for high traffic applications, such as servers, users may be better suited to the 8-GB Raspberry Pi 4.

Which is better Raspberry Pi 4 4GB or 8GB? ›

Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB version)

The 4GB of RAM is still more than sufficient to run game emulators and other intensive applications, however won't quite have the grunt that the 8GB board offers. If you don't see a need for 8GB of RAM, save yourself some money and grab this all-round performer.

Yes, Raspberry Pi can handle 24/7 run time when used with proper linear power supply which must be regulated through DC adapter or any good quality battery supply. Components or other electronics parts won't get fried until and unless you provide wrong power supply or more voltage than recommended.

How long is the lifespan of a raspberry pi? Lifespan should be exactly the same as any other computer. Most run for more than 10 years. Capacitors are what usually go bad and there aren't many on the Pi.

The shortage in stock is due to supply chain issues which affected any components which used semiconductors. The Raspberry Pi range was not alone in this: graphics cards, along with other PC components, also saw stock shortages and high demand. It's also difficult to buy a bare board.

The Broadcom BCM2711 in the Pi 4 is roughly comparable to an old Airmont-based Intel Atom chip such as the N3050 (dual core, up to 2.16GHz single core boost, 6W) but uses far less power (under 3W).

Raspberry Pi 4: Memory Speed

You may opt (or have opted) to go for the 4GB model, or perhaps paid a little more for the 8GB model. If you are considering using your Pi 4 for gaming, and haven't purchased yet, perhaps it is better to spend a little more and get that extra memory as it may help significantly.

Almost all of the heat generated by a Raspberry Pi comes from the processor. This is also where a Raspberry Pi measures its own temperature. To prevent overheating, all Raspberry Pi boards begin to throttle the processor when the temperature reaches 80°C and even further when it reaches the max temp of 85°C.

The latest Raspberry Pi 4 uses a Broadcom BCM2711 , which integrates a quad core ARM Cortex-A57, a NIC, memory interface, PCIe and more. This SoC is soldered to the board, and cannot be replaced. Is it possible to use an Intel processor with a Raspberry PI? No.
