RASPBERRY PI3 Model B

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B - Successor to Model B2

Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer designed as an alternative to desktop computers. The device is based on a Broadcom SoC chip, containing an ARM processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and at least 512 MB of RAM. It does not have a hard drive or SSD; it uses an external SD card for booting and data storage. A 5V microUSB power supply and input/output devices such as a screen or keyboard are also required for proper operation. The board features a USB port to connect any external devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or flash drive. It is also equipped with GPIO ports and I2C, SPI, and UART interfaces accessible via pin headers. Users also have access to audio and video outputs and an Ethernet port for LAN network connection. The device runs operating systems based on Linux.

Key changes in the Model B3:
- ARM Cortex-A53 1.2GHz 64-bit Quad-Core CPU
- 802.11 b/g/n W-LAN
- Bluetooth 4.1
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
