Raspberry is adding a new model to their collection. The Raspberry Pi 3B+ (yes, they added the ‘+’). Since 2016 the 3B model has been the go to for most people. This new version is visually exactly the same as the 2016 model, the change is done under the hood.
It has a somewhat faster quad core CPU of 1.4 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2 (upgrade from 4.1) and dual-band Wi-Fi. The latter is the exciting part of the upgrade. Now it is also possible to connect to the 5GHz band (no longer just the 2.4 GHz). The Wi-Fi also has the modular compliance certification which is good news for developers that want to get their products based on the Pi to get certified.
Price for this new Pi is still in the same price range as we come to expect from Raspberry. Still $35 or so.
