Didn't think the Raspberry Pi could get any better? You're in for a big surprise! The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B 1GB is out and it's amazing! With an upgraded ARMv7 multicore processor, and a full Gigabyte of RAM, this pocket computer has moved from being a 'toy' to a real desktop PC. The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B is on a completely new level to its predecessors by being a staggering 6x faster than the Raspberry Pi Model B+. The ultra-low-cost, deck-of-cards sized Linux computer has had yet another makeover and this time the Raspberry Pi Foundation have gone all out. It has the same footprint and layout as the previous Model B+ version, so will fit all Model B+ items.
The big upgrade is a move from the BCM2835 (single core ARMv6) to BCM2836 (quad core ARMv7). The upgrade in processor types means you will see ~2x performance increase just on processor-upgrade only. For software that can take advantage of multiple-core processors, you can expect 4x performance on average and for really multi-thread-friendly code, up to 7.5x increase in speed. The board also features an increase in memory capacity to 1Gbyte.
