Raspberry Pi 3B+
An Open Source, $45 USD, Credit-Card Sized, Powerful Computer
What is Raspberry Pi
To make it as simple as possible, Raspberry Pi is a small computer with the components mounted on a credit card sized motherboard. Running Raspbian, a dedicated version of the Linux operating system, it is capable of offering office computing, internet access, media playback, and all the computer basics despite its tiny size.
Raspberry Pi 3B+ is the latest model that comes with the most recent improvements in processing power, connectivity, and power management to bring it closer to the capabilities of a normal PC.

Fast Processing
Improved thermals on the Pi 3 B+ means that the CPU on the BCM2837 SoC can now run at 1.4GHz, a 17% increase compared to the previous Pi 3 model (which ran at 1.2GHz).
Video performance of the Pi 3 B+ is slightly better than the previous Pi 3 generation, the VideoCore is clocked at 400MHz for video processing and the 3D graphics processor runs at 300MHz.
Faster Wirelessly
Featuring a new faster, dual-band wireless chip (CYW43455) with 802.11 b/g/n/ac wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2, connect wireless keyboard/trackpads without extra dongles; keeping things nice and tidy..
The dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LAN enables faster networking with less interference, although the higher bandwidth has less range, and the new PCB antenna technology grants a better reception.
A Faster Ethernet, GPIO and Layout
The Pi 3 B+ has significantly fasten the wired networking. Thanks to an upgraded and single USB/LAN chip, it offers a gigabit connection at least 300Mbit/s. This means that the connection speed is 3-5x faster than previous Pi models.
The GPIO header remains the same, with 40 pins, as was the previous three Pi models.
Learn and Build Powerful Projects
Designed with a Broadcom BCM2837, an ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit Quad Core Processor System-on-Chip operating at 1.4GHz, a RPi 3 B+ that is capable of 1Gpixel/s, a 1.5Gtexel/s or 24 GFLOPs of general-purpose compute. It can run several flavors of Linux (and even Windows 10 free-of-charge) and is being used to teach kids all over the world how to program.
FHD Videos and PC Level Processing
With gigabit and PoE capability, Ethernet, as well as better overheating protection for the 64-bit processor, the credit-card-sized computer is capable of many of the things your desktop PC is. It can support spreadsheets, word processing, high-definition video, and gaming. Plug the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ into your HDTV and watch Blu-Ray quality videos thanks to its 40MBits/s supported H.264.
