Raspberry Pi debuted on the market three years ago and it turned out to be a huge success, selling at a rate of 4.5 million copies. Surprisingly lived to launch the second generation of miniature computer Raspberry Pi, which not only provides efficient hardware, but like its predecessor, went on the market at an attractive price. Furthermore, the manufacturer has ensured that the equipment will receive free special version of Windows 10.
But let’s start from the specification, as CPU Raspberry Pi 2 is to be 6 times more efficient than its predecessor. Broadcom BCM2835 single-core processor technology based on ARMv6 clocked 700 MHz has been here since replaced by 4-core (Cortex-A7) Broadcom BCM2836 system on 900 MHz using a set of instructions ARMv7 which, thanks to the new architecture is determined to support a wider range of software.
The new model is also more RAM, which in this case increased to 1 GB, and it is also worth mentioning unchanged Broadcom VideoCore IV GPU (250 MHz). As far as the available connectors, here we get 4 USB ports, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, HDMI, 3.5 mm audio jack, microSD card slot and 40 GPIO pins. While the form is the same as in the case issued in July last year, model, Model B +.
We can also count on an updated version of Raspbian (based on Debian), but it also opens the door for Ubuntu and Android. The most interesting, however, seems to be the announcement of the Windows 10 , because Microsoft has prepared a special version of its OS for IoT Raspberry Pi 2 – so far have not met too many details here, but I know it will be a truncated variant of “tens “.
Raspberry Pi 2 price is $ 35.
