Allegedly it's going to be a 2GHz instead of 1.5GHz quad core CPU.
RP5 expected in mid 2024 with 2.0 GHz A76 and 4 to 16 GB LPDDR5. Modest bump in performance, maybe 20 to 30%.
Pi zero 2W $14.99 + tax

EDIT: They just announced the Raspberry Pi 5 is releasing in October. Neat!

When you factor in a good case, storage, and charger (if you don't have any spare phone chargers and USB C cables) you are already near the price of a new Beelink on sale or used HP/Dell mini PC.
I have two RPi 4s. They've served me well for 3-4 years now but I wouldn't buy one again unless I got a bundle with the case and memory card/SSD for this price total. Mini PCs have come a long way and there's a glut of used overpowered mini PCs on eBay.

I have a couple Pi's and recently installed Linux on a 10 year old tablet that is no longer in use, thinking just to take advantage of the battery in the tablet so I wouldn't have to use a UPS. It does everything the Pi does and more, but it's 4x faster, cheaper and has the advantage of a keyboard, touchpad and display if I need it. Even better it doesn't need a UPS and instead of working for a few minutes if the power fails, the old tablet battery will last for 4+ hours and the OS will gracefully shut down when the battery gets low. It costs less to operate too. Power consumption is lower for the tablet than it is for the Pi and the UPS.

I can't find any legit/known US store carrying them.
