This Raspberry Pi 3 B+ has 15% better performance than its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi 3 B. Despite the upgrade, the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ is still compatible with the Raspberry Pi 3 B, 2 and B+. Improvements over Raspberry Pi 3 Model B: Dual band Wireless connectivity 802.11ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) Improved power performance Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled New Ethernet controller Dual band Wireless connectivity 802.11ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) Increased connection speed and bandwidth Greater range when connected to the 5 GHz channel Backward compatibility within applications Improved streaming HD video over WiFi Increased effectiveness as a wireless access point Improved power performance Enabling the core processor to operate faster (4x 1.4 GHz) Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled PoE operation requires the purchase of the new PoE HAT which will be available at launch. Without being tethered to an electrical outlet, the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ can be located wherever it is needed most, and repositioned easily if required up to a range of 100 m. Having power available over a network means that installation and distribution of network of Raspberry Pi’s becomes simpler and more effective. New Ethernet controller 3x Ethernet speed of the current Raspberry Pi 3 B (~300 Mbps) Faster network data transfer Specifications SoC Broadcom BCM2837B0 CPU 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 (4x 1.4 GHz) GPU Dual-Core VideoCore IV Multimedia Co-Processor RAM 1024 MB USB 4x USB-A 2.0 GPIO 40 Pins Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n/ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) Bluetooth 4.2 + LE Power Micro-USB (5 V/2.5 A) Dimensions 85 x 56 x 17 mm
