Other parts between VIM4 and New VIM4 are almost the same.

There are two ways to identify the version of your VIM4.

If you want to identify the version via CPU Screen Printing, you need to remove the heatsink if it is installed.

The VIM4 CPU Screen Printing is A311D2.

The New VIM4 CPU Screen Printing is A311D2-N0D.

If you want to identify the version via CPU ID, you need to login the system and check the cpuid informations.

You can use command uname -r to get your kernel version, if your kernel version is 5.4.xxx then you can use the command below to get the cpuid.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Serial | awk '{print $3}'

You can use command uname -r to get your kernel version, if your kernel version is 5.15.xxx then you can use the command below to get the cpuid.

cat /proc/cpu_chipid| grep Serial | awk '{print $2}'

You can identify the version via different CPU ID as below:

360bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - If the serial starts with 360b then it is VIM4
360cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - If the serial starts with 360c then it is New VIM4
