Raspberry pi 3 b + announced with better connectivity and more power

We had been without news for a long time about the Raspberry Pi Foundation, something that has finally come to an end, with the announcement of a new version of its development board, which includes some interesting improvements, the new Raspberry Pi 3 B + will be better than ever.

Raspberry Pi 3 B + comes loaded with improvements

The first thing we highlight about the new Raspberry Pi 3 B +, is that it mounts a Broadcomm BCM2837B0 processor, consisting of four Cortex A53 cores at a frequency of 1.4 GHz, which is 200 MHz above the previous version. It is not a revolution, but it will help give a little boost in the uses where the Raspberry Pi 3 was in a hurry. This processor will continue to be accompanied by 1 GB of RAM.

We continue to see the improvements of the Raspberry Pi 3 B + with the inclusion of the WiFi ac standard compatible with the 5 GHz band, this will allow us to reach a higher maximum speed. Its Ethernet port has also been improved to be able to reach 315 Mb / s, three times more than the previous version and which is close to the limit of the USB 2.0 bus on which it works.

The rest of the features are maintained, which translates to dimensions of 85mm x 56mm x 17mm, four USB ports, an HDMI connector, an RCA connector, a Micro SD card reader and a 40-pin GPIO port. Its price will be $ 35.
