Raspberry Pi 3 – Model B with Onboard WiFi and Bluetooth

he Latest Raspberry Pi 3 – Model B quad-core 1.2GHz 64Bit SoC and onboard WiFi and Bluetooth is the latest product in Robu.in among raspberry pi family. The Latest Raspberry Pi 3 – Model B is a third generation product which maintains the same popular board format as other raspberry pi modules, but it has faster 1.2GHz 64Bit SoC, and onboard WiFi and Bluetooth

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B ARMv8 w/ 1GB RAM provides the same Pi features as before but with double the ram and a much faster processor. The Pi 3 has two major upgrades. The first is a next-generation Quad-Core Broadcom BCM2837 64-bit ARMv8 processor. This processor has speeds of up to 1.2GHz compared to the previous 900MHz on the Pi 2. The second upgrade is the addition of a built-in BCM43143 WiFi chip, allowing the Pi 3 to go wireless without additional peripherals. No more WiFi adapters. The Raspberry Pi 3 is also an excellent IoT solution with onboard Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

Back-Compatibility note: The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B quad-core 1.2GHz 64Bit SoC and onboard WiFi and Bluetooth has the same footprint and layout as the previous Model 2/B+ version, so will fit all Model 2/B+ items. However, the addition of a WiFi & Bluetooth Antenna has resulted in the ACT and PWR LEDs being moved to the opposite side of the SD card slot. Cases for the 2/B+ with LED light pipes will fit the new RPi 3, but the light pipes will not match up with the LEDs.
