The Raspberry Pi Blog [raspberrypi.org] 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.

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.
