RaspberryPiTurns
Four
S
o, four years on from
the last leap year, the
Raspberry Pi continues
to strengthen its grip
on the world.
On February 29th 2012,
the original 256MB Raspberry
Pi Model B was unleashed,
as the company’s blog notes
“on a largely unsuspecting
world”. Since that day, eight
million units have been shipped,
among them three million units
of the Raspberry Pi 2. This
figures make the Raspberry Pi
the UK’s all-time best-selling
computer, which is just lovely.
What was once a handful of
volunteers running the ship
has now grown into a full-time
team of over sixty employees.
And now we have a new
model to consider. TheRaspberry Pi 3 is now on
sale for $35 and featuresa
1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM
Cortex-A53 CPU, (that’sroughly
10 times the performance of
Raspberry Pi 1), integrated
802.11n wireless LAN and
Bluetooth 4.1. Completely
compatible with Raspberry Pi 1
and 2, this new model promises
a 33% increase in clock speed
and a 50-60% performance
increase in 32-bit mode versus
Raspberry Pi 2.
The firm isrecommending
a 2.5A adapter to power this
particular board and with 64-bit
support and wi-fi connectivity
built-in this timeround, now
seems as good a time as any to
climb aboard the Raspberry Pi
train. Show your appreciation
by visitingraspberrypi.org.Happy Birthday, etc...
