Cloud servers can be prepared in minutes, has decent performance, decent network, no upfront cost, can throw away or add at will and you don't have to take care of it physically. Also don't have to open up your local network.
The RPI4 w/ 4GB RAM is going to be a very welcomed upgrade in the emulation scene. N64, PS1, Dreamcast and PSP games will run so much smoother.
Does the 4 have a composite output, or is there a hat for it? My game room has a CRT and while I'd love to stick to original hardware, the price of getting it to read games from non-original media (which is getting harder and harder to come by) is pretty high. An RPi 4 could be reasonable alternative.
From what I can see on the specs, yes it does.

> compact home cloud Can we just start calling them servers again?
The distinction in actual usage between using cloud, server, and homelab to describe their setup seems to be rooted in their purpose. * Home Lab :: Running a partial/full enterprise IT stack for fun and education. * Home Server :: Running primarily internal services like file storage, backups, media streaming, home automation, maybe some light networking. * Home Cloud :: Running primarily external services on the pub…
Also, it seems like Western Digital would be an ideal player in the space since they want to bring processing to data storage via RISC-V.
The book 'kubernetes up and running' had a description on how to set up a kubernetes cluster out of raspberry pies. I guess a setup with the new pies would look a bit more real.
I have a PicoCluster 3S [1] kit I bought to make a clean Kubernetes cluster. I just ordered 3 4GB RPi 4s for it. I'm very excited. I use an ODROID-C2 as a home server for most tasks, and while the ARM cores are sufficiently fast, with some work I run out of memory and swap a lot. I will test to see if one of these could be a suitable replacement vs. an ODROID-XU4/XU4Q. [1] https://www.picocluster.com/collections/pico…
Genuinely curious what you'd want this for? Cloud servers can be prepared in minutes, has decent performance, decent network, no upfront cost, can throw away or add at will and you don't have to take care of it physically. Also don't have to open up your local network.

Since the link appears to be down, you can find some good information here: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raspberry-pi-4-b,6193.h... I was also looking on Canakit and it looks like the 4GB version is in pre-order to be delivered in mid July.
For those just wanting specs, here is a summary from the table from the article comparing it to RPI3 (left new): CPU: 1.5-GHz vs 1.4-GHz (same cores) RAM: selectable 1, 2, 4GB (depending on which version) vs 1 GB Video out: 2 micro hdmi out vs 1 Max resolution 4K @60hz vs 2560x1600 USB: 2x3.0,2x2.0 vs 4x2.0 Ethernet: Gigabit vs 330MB Wireless: Bluetooth 5.0 vs 4.1 Charging: USB-C vs USB micro Power requirement: 3A at…
Isn't it Cortex-A72 vs Cortex-A53 ?
My young son got a 3B+ for Christmas and it has provided no end of entertainment. He discovered Minecraft early on and that ha led to him starting learning to code so I think that was a great investment, probably the best ever.

I see value in what you call home cloud. It has a lot of potential for distributing things and giving control of data back to people. Is there a place where I can follow developments like this? Also, it seems like Western Digital would be an ideal player in the space since they want to bring processing to data storage via RISC-V.
