Yeah, just read that, too.
However. The Ethernet is only about 300 MBit actually It’s still USB2.0
I am also somewhat disappointed as I expected more RAM and USB 3.0.
For German readers there is a short article on Heise which also contains some benchmarking results they did.

There is no real benefit of it… hopefully pi4 will getting more RAM
At least USB3 would be great…
Im also littlebit disappointed from the B+ …I bought a few days ago my 2nd PI (B) but i dont think the changes are that impressiv to send it back and order the new one.
I hope the PI 4 get some features of the “ODROID XU4Q” for example:
(@all there now think to get this “ODRIOD” … its way to expansiv with ~ 80euro on Amazon)
