Raspberry Pi has introduced a new cheaper Raspberry
Pi 3 Model A+ that uses the same Broadcom 1.4GHz Quad-core processor as the
high-end Model B+. It also has support for Bluetooth 4.2 as well as 2.4GHz and
5GHz Wi-Fi and comes with 512MB LPDDR2 SDRAM.
It no longer has an Ethernet port and has just one
USB 2.0 port instead of four. The new model comes with improved USB
mass-storage booting and improved thermal management. The entire board is
certified as a radio module under FCC rules, which in turn will significantly
reduce the cost of conformance testing Raspberry Pi–based products.
It is powered by a 1.4GHz 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 CPU
Quad-Core processor with 512MB RAM. The company says that it will be available
at a price tag of US$ 25. In India you can get it for about Rs.
2,150 (incl. GST).
