The Raspberry Pi Blog announces:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is now on sale now for $35, featuring:
- 1.4GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
- Dual-band 802.11ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2
- Faster Ethernet (Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0)
- Power-over-Ethernet support (with separate PoE HAT)
- Improved PXE network and USB mass-storage booting
- Improved thermal management
Alongside a 200MHz increase in peak CPU clock frequency we have roughly three times the wired and wireless network throughput, and the ability to sustain high performance for much longer periods.

> The Raspberry series has been a wonderful groundbreaker, but I still don't think I can use this to build the firewall I want: three wired ports and NO wireless.
What about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_Pi#Banana_Pi_BPI-R2 [wikipedia.org]
it isn't an exact match because it has wifi + BT, however you can just not enable that.
Ok, so it isn't a raspberry pi, but the raspberry pi foundation kick stated an entire ecosystem of "pi-like" boards that maintain some software and/or GPIO compatibility, while giving you a bunch of features, from multiple Ethernet ports like the above, to SATA connectors, and more...
