Looks interesting and makes sense for industrial users. If it's an official RPi Foundation created module? we can probably get a sample sent to HiassofT who has my Slice3 box in his collection since last summer now. That said, there are now only ~45 Slice boxes showing in stats (down from ~100 pre-Covid) so it's probably not high on the to-do list.

It appears to be a response from the Pi Foundation (though possibly developed in association with a specific CM1-3 form factor product vendor) to the extreme shortage of pre-CM4 modules due to the lack of the earlier SoCs based on the 40nm process?
My Slice has been sitting in a box for a couple of years so won't be showing up on the stats. Beautiful piece of hardware design 
I would be interested to try that. According to the spec listed here: https://revolutionpi.com/new-s-series-and-se-series/ there's a change in the processor (1.2Ghz -> 1.5Ghz) and also a better HDMI output.
I wonder anyway if that 4K output will be possible, using the SLICE board.
Also this page describes the 4s : https://www.jeffgeerling.com/b…erry-pi-compute-module-4s
thanks noggin for sharing this, this is really interesting news.
I'd certainly look into this if its easier than getting an rpi4, HVEC decoding and HBR audio would be a great feature update for the Slice and would buy a few more years of use. Dare we hope of 4K output too?
chewitt out of interest can you tell from the stats if people are moving over to LE10? Mine might be counted as a rpi3 (not that it makes much difference from a 100).
Stats show 52 active installs; no nightlies or dev builds, and all are running LE 8.2 or LE 9.x builds. And yes, one shows up as an RPi3 
Hi everyone,
I've been using Libreelec for quite some time now and since the end of 2020 I'm a proud owner of a Slice (running Libreelec of course 😊). I'm every now and then checking for new builds here (even if I was not registered in this forum - sorry for that 😅).
Colour me interested in upgrading my slice to CM 4s - when and if this is possible. Should this be possible in the future I'll offer to test a new, fitting Image (if you are searching for a tester).
Best regards
Chillman
If this https://www.tomshardware.com/u…4s-mysteriously-announced is correct - there is likely to be a CM4S module in the Slice-compatible CM1-3 form factor, but with the SoC from the CM4 on it...
If this becomes a product available to end users - will anyone try it in a Slice?
Yes I am happy to try it.
I have two, one in the case and one 'barebones'. I modified the case with a heatsink for CM3 to connect CPU to case via some copper when I upgraded.
Pictures here:CM3 heatsink
It runs quite warm especially with video, so a CM4 may well be more of a heat problem, apart from if it will work with Libreelec / Kodi.
Mine are used nearly every day for music streaming or for playing my FLAC based music collection. Occasional use for video.

Yep - I upgraded my Slice with a CM3 and a heatsink - but it doesn't get much use at the moment I'm afraid
I still love my Slice
