Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is a versatile single-board computer powered by the Broadcom BCM2837B0 quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC at 1.4 GHz with 1 GB LPDDR2 RAM. Featuring 300 Mbps Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, 4x USB 2.0, HDMI output, and a 40-pin GPIO header, it is widely used for IoT, education, and embedded Linux projects.
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is currently the best Raspberry Pi computer you can buy. While the price stays at $35, the new board one-ups its predecessor in several ways, most notably with a faster processor and Wi-Fi. The co-creator of the board Eben Upton describes it as lying somewhere between the 2016 Raspberry Pi 3 and a future Raspberry Pi 4 in terms of power and features. The hardware improvements, along with refinements to the Pi 3 B+’s official Raspbian OS, elevate the board to the status of a perfectly acceptable everyday PC — impressive for a computer the price of a restaurant meal.
