Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is the first module of the third-generation Raspberry Pi with Bluetooth 4.1 and Wifi. It is the most famous powerful pocket SBC(single-board computer) around the world. You can use this credit card-sized computer to process documents, control robots, play large games, and watch HD videos...
Such a petite body has such huge power, mainly thanks to its powerful Quad Core Broadcom BCM2837 64bit CPU. Which upgraded the processor speed from the Raspberry Pi 2 900Mhz to Pi 3 1.2Ghz.
Another exciting upgrade is the Pi 3 B adds an onboard Bluetooth module and an onboard wifi module. The powerful wireless connectivity allows the Raspberry Pi to have a wider range of applications without the need for a wireless expansion module.
Meanwhile, Raspberry Pi 3 B strengthens the power management system. Now the power source supplied by the Micro USB has increased to 2.5A. This means it can drive more peripherals, such as a mouse, a keyboard, a speaker, and more.
On top of all that, Raspberry Pi 3B's 40Pin GPIO Header is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi 2. You can use all the existing Raspberry Pi 2 accessories and kits with the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B!
