RASPBERRY PI 3 HITS THE MARKET, NOW WITH WIFI

Four years on the market, eight million units distributed, an incredible benefit, and a true revolution in the world of DIY. All this and much more have been associated with the Raspberry Pi name, which now enters its third version with various settings on your hardware. In addition to receiving a SoC with 50 percent extra performance on version 2, Raspberry Pi 3 finally adds wireless support through "n" WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy.

Raspberry Pi 3 hits the market, now with WiFi

Few things are left to add to the potential of the Raspberry Pi. Thanks to its excellent cost and a formidable participation by their community, a platform to accumulate hits. Its official launch is carried out precisely on February 29, 2012, and since they were eight million distributed units, of which three million belong to the second generation. Obviously, Raspberry Pi is not perfect, and in these past four years users challenged the limits of your hardware with creativity and additional investments. One of the great weaknesses of the platform is the absence of integrated WiFi support, a costly technical aspect, mainly on the issue of the certificates. The official debut of the Raspberry Pi 3, that was in the past.

Welcome WiFi y Bluetooth, 

The new compact computer (in version B) maintains the same format of version 2, with a minimal change in the position of the LEDs to make room for the new antenna. The new SoC of the Raspberry Pi 3 is a Broadcom BCM2837, which retains the same basic architecture of the previous SoCs, but displays quad-core 1.2 GHz with 64-bit support. This jump in clock speed should reflect an increase in the yield of 50-60 percent on Raspberry Pi 2 under 32-bit applications, and on average, equivalent to 10 times the performance of the original IP Raspberry. The wireless connectivity in the Raspberry Pi 3 comes thanks to the Broadcom BCM43438, a 'combo' chip capable of delivering "n" WiFi and Bluetooth 4.1 Low Energy at the same time.

The RAM is 1 GB, and its energy requirements have increased: now, a source of 2.5A is recommended. As for the price, there are no changes: its base is 35 dollars in official distributors of the head, Element14, and RS Components. In summary, Raspberry Pi 3 Finally canceled its debt of wireless connectivity, and to maintain its original price, is shaping up as a solid update. The official site of Raspberry added to the announcement of the previous models of Raspberry Pi 'no' will be discontinued, and that a Raspberry Pi 3 there will be A series before year's end.
