#RASPBERRY PI MEDIA CENTER OS ADD ONS 1080P#
Pi co-creator Eben Upton expects that the additional overhead offered by the B+ could allow the Pi to carry out tasks that were previously just out of its reach.įor existing Raspberry Pi users the B+ will be that little bit better for a wide range of tasks: from a media center able to play a wider range of video, due to the B+’s better performance and recent support for hardware-assisted decoding of HDCP-encrypted 1080p H.265 video, to a faster home server thanks to the connectivity upgrades.
Wired Ethernet performance is also boosted, with the addition of Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0, with a maximum throughput of about 300Mbps, again substantially more than the Pi 3 Model B.Īnother small improvement is the addition of support for Bluetooth 4.2/BLE, a step up from the Bluetooth 4.1 support in the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. Unfortunately, in initial testing by TechRepublic, the speeds achieved fell somewhat short, although others have achieved much better results. That 802.11ac Wi-Fi promises more than double the throughput of the 802.11n Wi-Fi on the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. A new dual-band Wi-Fi antenna adds support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz 802.11 b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi.

SEE: Hardware spotlight: The Raspberry Pi (Tech Pro Research)Ĭonnectivity-wise, the board should be capable of streaming data to and from the board more rapidly. That extra performance doesn’t come at the cost of stability, with a new heatspreader on top of the CPU helping keep temperatures under control and reducing instances of throttling compared to the Pi 3 Model B. This improved performance was borne out in TechRepublic tests, where general performance of the B+ trounced earlier Pi boards. The B+’s main improvement over the 2016 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is a boost to processor speed - while the B+ shares the same quad-core, 64-bit CPU it has been clocked at 1.4GHz, a 16.7% increase over the Pi 3 Model B. How is the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ better than the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B?

The hardware improvements, along with refinements to the Pi 3 B+’s official Raspbian OS, elevate the board to the status of a perfectly acceptable everyday PC - impressive for a computer the price of a restaurant meal. The co-creator of the board Eben Upton describes it as lying somewhere between the 2016 Raspberry Pi 3 and a future Raspberry Pi 4 in terms of power and features. While the price stays at $35, the new board one-ups its predecessor in several ways, most notably with a faster processor and Wi-Fi. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is currently the best Raspberry Pi computer you can buy. SEE: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+: An insider’s guide (free PDF) (TechRepublic) What’s the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+?
While it isn’t a generational leap over 2016’s Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, it delivers a welcome boost to the Pi’s speed and Wi-Fi capabilities. Today marks the release of the new flagship in the Pi range, the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. Six years since the Raspberry Pi launched and the runaway success of the tiny $35 computer shows little sign of slowing down.
Check out this cheat sheet for the lowdown on the fastest Raspberry Pi yet. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ delivers a welcome boost to the Pi's speed and Wi-Fi capabilities.
