gollark: I'm looking at getting a 4GB RPi4, heatsink case and SSD to replace my ageing tower server.
gollark: The 3 has a quad-core ARMv8 CPU with better clocks than previous generations, the 4 has better clocks again and a better (A72) core design, so about 2x the CPU perf of the 3. Also more RAM options.
gollark: I find that in the UK it's actually significantly more expensive.
gollark: Same price *in theory*.
gollark: If not more.
