This article is a part of the IX family of software.
Introduction
The Raspberry Pi Compute Module Family includes the Compute Module 4 [the CM4 and the CM4Lite] (that are devoid of connectors except for two rows of 100 tiny pins each that fastens the Compute Module 4 to a "mother board", usually horizontally or planar), the Compute Module 3 (and the upgraded 3+) and the Compute Module 4S which is an industrial board with "finger pins" that allow the board to be inserted vertically, often beside other identical boards. The Compute Module is often configured alone in a device. The Compute Module 4S (originally containing 1GB of SDRAM) is often configured in a bank of numerous similar boards. Source 08 is a preview of the Raspberry CM5.
The original Compute Module 4 [CM4]

RPi CM4
The CM4 is described in the author's Article 209. It is designed to be used in small quantities. It can be incorporated by a hobbiest for applications where external device connections are not needed or in applications only requiring compute power. In Article 209, various boards are described that can accommodate (house and power) the CM4. Raspberry provides an impressive range of CM4 boards with varying amounts of RAM, uSD memory and types of wireless communications. The price of each version varies greatly, mainly according to the amount of each type of memory. See Article 209 for more details.
The new RPi Compute Module 4S (with 2GB, 4GB & 8GB)
The first version of the Compute Module 4S had only 1 GB of memory. On 2024 D Apr 24, in Source 01, Dave Lee announced versions of the 4S with 2GB, 4GB and 8 GB of SDRAM (shown below):

RPi ComputeModule 4S (Industrial Version)
These 4S boards are NOT for private users. They are only sold in 200-unit boxes with prices per unit starting from US $ 25.
Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 compatibility wrt Compute Module 5
Source 08 is a preview of the Raspberry CM5. Differences with the CM4 will be:
For most customers, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 will be pin-compatible with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4.
The following features have been removed from the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 when compared to the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4:
• Composite video
• 2 lane DSI port
• 2 lane CSI port
• 2 ADC inputs
Other News
Source 02 is a GRABCAD project that creates a 3D model of a Raspberry Pi 4. Source 03 contains 50 very cool projects for the RPi 5. Some of the latter projects are AI projects.
Video Source 01 describes Q* and how Sam Altman was fired then immediately rehired by OpenAI. Note that OpenAI is essentially controlled by MicroSoft. Is this Q* smoke a sign of fire in the AI sector? Were important security concerns relating to AI the real cause of this ouster? Is this an AI Alarm? See the author's Article 218 which is devoted to Artificial Intelligence.
Source 04 is a site where interested technologists can request an 11 page eGuide (illustrated below) describing AI trends in the IT corporate world.

An article at Tom's Hardware (Source 05) describes a billion dollar company (KYEC) being driven by US sanctions from Mainland China to become completely based in Taiwan. Is this even possible?
Source 06 describes the NVMe SSD base by Pimoroni. Source 07 shows how to install AI on an RPi 5.
Source 09 is a 2 year old description of the RPi GPIO module that is applicable to the RPi 5.
Book Source 01 is a soon-to-be-released book (in paper format) describing Artificial Intelligence.
Other Thoughts
Source 10 says that the recently available "Arc browser" is better than Chrome. But it only works on Mac and Windows 11. Soon on Windows10 and then maybe Linux.
