Living proof: the upcoming Banana Pi BPI-CM4 compute module doesn’t simply seem like a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, it additionally options the identical connection pins, which signifies that it ought to work with service boards designed for the Raspberry Pi CM4. However that doesn’t imply the 2 compute modules equivalent.
Whereas the Raspberry Pi CM4 is powered by a Broadcom BCM2711 quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 processor, the Banana Pi BPI-CM4 options an Amlogic A311D chip, which options:
- 4 x ARM Cortex-A73 CPU cores
- 2 x ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores
- ARM Mali-G52 MP4 graphics
- Neural Processing Unit with 5 TOPS efficiency.
The BPI-CM4 might be accessible with 2GB or 4GB of RAM, 16GB to 128GB of eMMC storage, and a alternative of WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 wi-fi modules.
Different options embrace a PCIe growth interface, assist for Gigabit Ethernet, and an HDMI interface with assist for as much as a single 4K show (a Raspberry Pi CM4, by comparability, helps as much as two shows). There additionally CSI and DSI connectors for cameras and shows.
Pricing and availability particulars haven’t been introduced but, however the truth that we’ve solely seen rendered pictures fairly than real-world pictures means that it may very well be some time earlier than the BPI-CM4 is able to ship.
