“Finally the Raspberry Pi has OpenGL ES3.0 support, which makes writing games for the Pi a much better experience, particularly when switching vertex data repeatedly due to support for Vertex Array Objects. Beware, the Pi 4 runs very hot! Full screen Youtube works well, but driver support for the new Broadcom Videocore chip is still in the early stages. It's worth checking the Raspberry Pi forums for the latest updates and suggestions on drivers, etc. The upgraded CPU immediately feels more beefy than the Pi3 B+, particularly in XWindows.”
“This is an amazing little beast. Got it in 10 days exactly- it's very much quicker than previous Pis, and I'm confidently using it as a normal computer without any compromises.
Though it does run very hot in the official case- always 70something C unless totally idle. Would definitely recommend giving your Pi 4 a gentle breeze and not shutting it up without airholes. Not enough heat to slow it down, but enough to make me feel guilty for hotboxing the poor thing.
Expecting the Fan Shim to improve this.
Aside from the heat, it's brilliant! Fast as my $500 laptop from 3 years back.”
