The newest model of Raspberry Pi family which has received the name Pi 3 Model B has decent computing power. At the same time his sizes are comparable to a cigarette pack. Heart of a small payment is the ARM Cortex-A53 processor – the 64-bit tetracyclic chip with a clock frequency of 1,2 GHz. It is successful 1 Gbyte of random access memory helps to cope with the tasks set by the user to the processor. According to Raspberry Pi Foundation, the new minicomputer is ten times faster than Raspberry Pi 1, and for 50-60% surpasses Raspberry Pi 2 in data processing speed.
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B offers more advantages in comparison with the predecessor, than just increase in speed of work: now the small computer has the integrated Wi-fi module of the IEEE 802.11n standard and supports Bluetooth 4.1. For the rest everything remained as before: same sockets and slots, 5-volt socket of food (Micro-USB) and 32-bit Raspbian Linux operating system. In the next months it is necessary to check whether transition to the 64-bit Linux version will take place.
