It offers a more powerful processor and more memory Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, the new one version of the budget computer Raspberry Pi.
According to a BBC report, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B is about six times more powerful than the previous version of the computer (Model B +). However, it will probably need this power, as it faces competition from other similar machines, such as the Arduino, Intel Galileo, Gizmo 2, BeagleBone Black and Hummingboard.
The main differences with the previous version are as follows: the CPU is now quad core rather than single core, allowing either more power or less power consumption (depending on requirements). Also, the Cortex A7 processor "runs" now at 800MHz instead of 700MHz, while there is a GB RAM.
In the same spirit as its predecessors, its owners will have to "add" their own keyboard, a MicroSD card containing functional system and screen.
As creator Eben Upton told the BBC, this is now a "real" PC - a computer that you can do most of the things you would do with a normal PC, like surf the Internet, watch videos , to play gamea, but also to learn programming: the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B bring with him the necessary "tools" that young children need to make their first steps in the programming world. Otherwise, Acton points out, the rest have remained the same.
The computer can run a variety of Linux-based systems, but its creators have promised to be able to support its next operating system Microsoft. The cost is only 35 dollars.
