An 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 model arrives with new 64-bit OS


Are you a big fan of Single-board Computer, Then here is a piece of good news for you. The Giant of Single-board Computer Raspberry-pi Just released its new version of board which comes with 8 GB RAM and Pre-installed 64-bit OS is being released a beta version in it.

It Cost $75 USD (INR-5,664)

Seen in Last year June, they released their most popular board Raspberry Pi 4. It comes with 2GB and 4GB models, but while the RAM has increased to 8GB, everything else remains the same.

The board features a Broadcom BCM2711 chip, which uses four ARM Cortex-A72 cores running at 1.5GHz, along with Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, USB-C for the power brick, and two micro-HDMI ports that support two 4K displays. You also get dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0.

To take full advantage of this extra memory, a 64-bit version of the foundation’s official operating system, Raspbian, has been released in early beta, though it’s now called Raspberry Pi OS.

Upton writes that “power users, who want to be able to map all 8GB into the address space of a single process, need a 64-bit userland,” and while there are options such as Ubuntu and Gentoo available, the Raspberry Pi OS is now available as a 64-bit image in addition to the existing 32-bit image.

For those who don’t need 8GB in their Raspberry Pi 4, the 4GB version is available for $55 USD (INR-4,154), and the 2GB model is just $35 USD (INR-2,643)
