Accordingly, Raspberry Pi 3 is <b>now on sale for $35<\/b> (the same price as the existing Raspberry Pi 2), featuring:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A <b>1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core<\/b> ARM Cortex-A53 CPU (~10x the performance of Raspberry Pi 1)<\/li>\n<li>Integrated 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.1<\/li>\n<li>Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1 and 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;The 900MHz 32-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU complex has been replaced by a custom-hardened 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53. Combining a 33% increase in clock speed with various architectural enhancements, this provides a 50-60% increase in performance in 32-bit mode versus Raspberry Pi 2, or roughly a factor of ten over the original Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Raspberry Pi 3 is available to buy today from our partners <a href=\"https:\/\/www.element14.com\/community\/community\/raspberry-pi\">element14<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.rs-online.com\/web\/generalDisplay.html?id=raspberrypi\">RS Components<\/a>, and other resellers. You\u2019ll need a recent NOOBS or Raspbian image from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/downloads\/\">downloads<\/a> page. At launch, we are using the same 32-bit Raspbian userland that we use on other Raspberry Pi devices; over the next few months we will investigate whether there is value in moving to 64-bit mode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At $35 these computers are a steal, and now with Bluetooth and Wireless built in, they are even more affordable. I have a Raspberry Pi 2 already, but I have a feeling one of these will end up in my shack before too long!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Robert Gulley, AK3Q,\u00a0is the author of this post and <a href=\"http:\/\/swling.com\/blog\/author\/robert\/\" target=\"_blank\">a regular contributor<\/a> to the SWLing Post.
