Compute Module 4 introduction

Completely upgraded, more powerful Raspberry Pi CM4
- Upgraded processor BCM2711, quad-core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC, more powerful performance
- More options for RAM (1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB), competent for large-scale data compilation
- Faster eMMC Flash storage, up to 100 MBytes/s data rate, which is four times faster than the CM3+
- Option for fully certified radio module, the same one used on Pi4B, supports either PCB trace antenna or external antenna, more suitable for industrial applications
- Adopts B to B connectors, more stable than the Goldfinger edge connector of previous generations
- Onboard new Gigabit Ethernet PHY supporting IEEE1588, suitable for network applications
- Onboard new PCIe Gen 2 x1 interface, allows connecting more useful modules
