• A 40x faster processor (700 MHz, single-core vs 1.5-GHz quad core)

That's surely best-case. I don't believe the cores are really 4.7x faster per clock, for the typical benchmark.

Also, you forgot to mention gigabit ethernet vs. 100 Mbps.

You could also mention 32-bit vs. 64-bit cores, with a footnote that Raspbian is still 32-bit.

It's a great cheap option for tinkering and I more or less have used them all over the years. Imo we really need to get a more permanent realiable/fast option over SD cards. either a SATA or M.2 on the next version(costly ofc, so might ruin the idea behind the board). Only hickup that I have, is that USB boot on Pi4 still isn't working. Bought two of these the first week they were released, and honestly I had no idea that it would take a year and still waiting to get usb boot working. I can't figure out why this isn't top prio in 2020 with USB boot.
