 Being newer, the C4 has a higher clock speed and consumes less power,
however it lacks gig ethernet and has one hdmi.  the C4 is cheaper and uses a
barrel type plug instead of a usb c plug, and can accept a variety of input
voltages from 5.5v to 17v (must have built in buck converter.)  This feature
is attractive for embedded systems since supllying a dedicated 5v is not
necessary.

Price of the C4 is $50USD compared to $55USD
