Raspberry Pi 3 B+ vs. Raspberry Pi 4

Help
1

What device is the better choice? - I know not a 100% Rhasspy related Question.
I know the Pi 4 has more power but is the speech recognition faster on it, does anyone have experience with that or even tested both? I want to use pocketsphinx.

Hey Strohhut,
i would believe so and it’s what I’m counting on…


This guy did benchmarks with the pi4 and following his guide i got only 4s translation time on my pi3 compared to his 1.9. I believe it will be the same with pocketsphinx…
However Ram may also play an important role since the pi4 is available with different options…
Hope it helps

Hi, thank you for the link.

Yeah seems like there could be a speed boost, I found a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2GB on Sale and bought it. Once I’m finished I will test my project on both Pi 3 B+ and Pi 4 2GB.

I will publish my results here :slight_smile:

I had the same plan :smiley: Could you provide the link for the sale ? :slight_smile:

I’m from Germany so it’s a German seller and partner of Raspberry, so don’t know if that is useful to you:

If you are in the US, Micro Center is a good place to pick one up.
