You Can Now Overclock a Raspberry Pi 4 For Some Nice Performance Gains

'The Raspberry Pi 4 is one of the cheapest single-board computers
around. The new 4th generation is a solid performance lift over its
predecessor and good bang for the buck if you're interested in
learning Linux, working with embedded computing, or just want to kick
back and play some retro games on an emulator. In addition, the latest
version of the Raspberry Pi Foundation's Linux distribution, Raspbian
Buster, comes with a new firmware revision for the tiny DIY PC that
removes its 2GHz clock speed limit and allows voltage adjustments to
wring out additional performance, with proper cooling of course. In
testing, while there are no guarantees in overclocking, HotHardware
was able to realize more than a 40% lift in their Raspberry Pi 4's
processor clock speed, and a 50% boost to the GPU with an air-cooled
mini case kit. Combined, they're not enough to turn the Pi 4 into your
every day PC, but the performance gains are measurable and valuable.
All it takes is a quick firmware update and a couple of Linux commands
to dial things in.'
