Overview The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is the third generation Raspberry Pi. It replaced the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B in February 2016. Compared to the Raspberry Pi 2 it has: A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARMv8 CPU 802.11n Wireless LAN Bluetooth 4.1 & Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 1.Dimensions: 85.6mm x 56mm x 21mm 2.40-Pin Extended GPIO 3.Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit Quad core CPU at 1.2GHz£¬ 1GB RAM 4.On board Bluetooth 4.1 Wi-Fi 5.Micro SD Card slot 6.DSI display port 7.Micro USB power input£¬ Upgraded switched powr source that can handle up to 2.5Amps 8.Full size HDMI video outpu 9.CSI camera port 10.3.5mm 4-pole composite video and audio output jack 11.10/100 Lan port 12.4xUSB 2 ports BCM2837£¬ 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 1GB RAM 10/100 Ethernet port 802.11n WiFi NIC Bluetooth 4.1 & Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) HDMI port 4 * USB 2.0 interfaces Micro SD card slot Combined 3.5mm audio jack and composite video 40-pin GPIO interface Camera interface (CSI) Display interface (DSI) Upgraded power management£¬ supports more peripherals (requires a 2.5A power supply or above) Pi 3 compared to Pi 2: More processor speed. The CPU on the Pi 3 is one and a half times faster at 1.2 GHz. Your Pi board performs better. On-board connectivity. The Pi 3 features 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN and Bluetooth Classic & Low Energy (BLE). You can get connected much quicker without the need for any external device. 2.5A power supply. With more processor speed and on-board connectivity£¬ you'll need more power. Power supplies for previous Pi boards will not be sufficient. You will need the Official Raspberry Pi 3 Power Supply. ?New components. The Pi 3 features a chip antenna where status LEDs were located previously. The status LEDs are still on the board£¬ right next to the microSD card slot.
