Depending on the purpose, for example if somebody just wants a compact home cloud, the Odroid HC2 could also - still - be considered: https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc2-home-cloud-two/ - Half the RAM but double the cores. I'm waiting for some benchmarks to see if the RPi4 is faster and by how much. - Also Gigabit Ethernet and it works great. My downloads are always at 108-111MB/s for the whole transfer. - Not…

The OrangePi 3 at $40 is also pretty neat, PCIe 1x, 8GB onboard eMMC, 4x USB 3.0, Bluetooth 5, Wireless AC (pretty sure they beat Raspberry Pi to the punch on this...) and it has mainline kernel support: http://www.orangepi.org/Orange%20Pi%203/

This is absolutely great.

The RPi was already exceptional for its price point, and this version seems to address the few problems it had (lack of Gigabit, USB speed and RAM capacity) and add onto it even more features. It almost seems too good to be true.

Can't wait!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Other SBC makers don't have an issue offering full schematics, yet, due to their smaller size, have relatively more to lose from being cloned. Moreover, I hope nobody believes that a lack of full schematics is going to stop people from making clones. Schematics can be reversed with not too much effort. Due to their large audience and brand recognition, rpi actually has less to fear from clones than smaller SBC vendor…

Maybe RPi developers deal with with some investors that way? (in order to attract more money)

The full specs and benchmark link: https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/raspberry-pi-4-specs-bench...

Minimum 2x performance over previous gen(s) on every test with only ~1W extra power draw. That's seriously impressive!

I'm super excited as well. I figured out the secret sauce to get a low latency kernel build I was able to get down to 20ms latency but I'm excited to see if this can't get down to 10ms even though 20ms is acceptable low audio latency, already with only 1 gig of ram on a pi3 ardour is usable for multitrack recording, excited to see how this does with 4 gigs.

Has anyone had success using an ARM based system for local development in Linux?

Depends on what you are doing.

Yes, but you're running off a sloooow sd card which may slow you down a bit if you compile stuff.

Other than that it's just a normal linux computer.

Mind, I've only done command line and text mode editors, if you want the full desktop and a ram hungry IDE it's going to hurt more.

they are better, modern, more efficient and cheaper CPUs in 2019

the fact that they decided to go with a 2015 inefficient one is kinda strange
