from the raspberry-for-pi-day dept.

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.

Video announcement here.

FAQs:

  • Not discontinuing earlier Raspberry Pi models
  • Raspberry Pi 1A+ continues to be the $20 entry-level "big" Raspberry Pi
  • Considering possibility of introducing a Raspberry Pi 3A+
  • CM!, CM3 and CM#L compute modules continue to be available.
  • Still using VideoCore

Now I am left to wonder how many amps the power supply wall wart needs to be.

    I think modifying the antenna is a bad idea, it'll cause more interference, and probably still work close range.
    Trying to modify the PCB is also a bad idea, especially if you have to do more than one, or replace one down the road.

    Just remove the necessary components from the software.

    Go in synaptic, search for wireless, and uncheck the drivers.
    Delete iwconfig
    Something like that

    Or get the 2B without wireless.
