Confusion with new AQA spec?

Hi guys, so I was doing a bit of revision for Computing and basically my Computing teacher wasnt even bothered to move on to the new spec and adapt. Which is okay I guess since they're pretty similar but sometimes I feel like we learn unnecessary stuff not needed for the exam.Anyway, so the new spec has thishttp://prnt.sc/a5g16vSo on the right it shows only those 4 devices? Does that mean we only need to know does 4?Because you see, the old A-level books and spec has loads of devices and our teacher taught us all of them but I was just wondering if they will actually even come up on our exam?http://prnt.sc/a5g2haI couldnt find any information of this could anyone help me out

It says four devices that need to be "considered". So yes potentially these could come up on an exam. But since exam boards like to put stuff in different contexts, they may ask you on different things too. Also, it's given you 4 main ones, but this opens a door to many others possibly.
