At this point, we sound like a broken record, extolling on the new Pi’s myriad improvements like we’re surprised that the folks at the Raspberry Pi Foundation are continuously making their flagship board better.&nbsp; Still, we’ll say it again - the Raspberry Pi team have outdone themselves.&nbsp;The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is out and it is AMAZING.\nNote: This is&nbsp;NOT&nbsp;the new Pi 3 Model B+. This&nbsp;is the Pi 3 Model B. If you are trying to buy the trendy new&nbsp;Pi 3 Model B+ click here!\nThere are two giant upgrades in the Pi 3.&nbsp; The first is a next generation Quad Core Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit ARMv8 processor, making the processor speed increase from 900 MHz on the Pi 2 to up to 1.2GHz on the Pi 3.\nThe second giant upgrade (and this is the one we’re personally most excited about) is the addition of a BCM43438 WiFi chip BUILT-IN to your Raspberry Pi.&nbsp; No more pesky WiFi adapters - this Pi is WiFi ready.&nbsp; There’s also Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on board making the Pi an excellent IoT solution (BLE support is still in the works, software-wise)\nLastly, there’s an upgraded switched power source that goes up to 2.5 Amps instead of just 2 Amps - allowing your Pi to power even more powerful devices over USB ports.\nNote:&nbsp;Our 5V 2.4 A power supply works great with the Pi 3 Model B and provides plenty of power to the chip, Ethernet, and any USB add-ons you plug in.\nThe best part about all this is that the Pi 3 keeps the same shape, connectors, and mounting holes as the Pi 2.&nbsp; The only difference is a slight change in where the LEDs are.&nbsp; 99% of cases and accessories will still be fully compatible with the Pi 3, Pi 2, and Pi B + - though if you have a case with a metal top there might be some WiFi chip difficulties.\nPlease note: Some boards are made in the UK, some in China. WE DO NOT KNOW IN ADVANCE WHICH ONES YOU MAY RECEIVE!\n\n \n\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":11095,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-3055","price":85.35,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
