The raspberry Pi foundation loves it surprises and just as they did with the Raspberry Pi 3 when they first announced it the Raspberry Pi 4 is available for purchase on the same day :).
From the reviews I have read so far there is a trade off of slightly more power consumption for at-least double the performance of the Pi 3. There is also massive I/O performance gains. See the new specs below.
