Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (101793)

Description

Raspberry Pi is well known as the perfect board for learning, coding, and creating your own projects and the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B doesn’t disappoint! On-board IoT support means you can ditch the irritating adapters. Faster processing speed and more power plus everything you know and love from the Pi 2 including shape, connectors, mounting holes, and compatible devices.


The Raspberry Pi Foundation made two major upgrades to the Pi 3 from the Pi 2. One upgrade increased the speed from 900 MHz to 1.2GHz by using the next generation Quad-Core Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit ARMv8 processor. 


For the second upgrade, the Foundation added a BCM43438 WiFi chip to the Pi. This onboard wireless ability in combo with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) creates the ideal IoT solution for projects. So leave those wireless peripherals on the shelf!


Did we mention there’s also an upgraded switched power source? 2A just become 2.5A, so bring on more powerful devices.


Faster speed, boosted power ability, and built-in wireless solutions, what’s not to love? You can use most all your old Raspberry Pi 2 accessories, which are compatible with the Pi 3 thanks to its near-identical form factor.
