Raspberry Pi 2 model B, 6x faster than its predecessor
Raspberry Pi is a mini computer the size of a credit card developed by the Raspberry Foundation. This February, Raspberry Pi released a new model, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, which is the second generation of Raspberry Pi. As the successor to the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+, the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B has 6 times faster performance, because it is powered by a 900 Mhz quad-core ARM Cortex A7 Processor and twice the memory capacity, which is 1 GB.
Although small and tiny, Raspberry Pi can be used for various purposes, such as spreadsheets, games, and can even be used as a media player because of its ability to play high definition video. In addition, Raspberry Pi can also be used for robotic purposes.
In its home country, the United Kingdom, the Raspberry Pi is released at a price of 35 USD. Quite a low price for a tiny computer with many functions.
Comparison of Raspberry Pi 2 with Raspberry Pi 1:
- 900MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor (6 x faster than Pi 1)
- 1 GB LDPDDR2 SDRAM Ram (2 times larger than Pi 1)
Like (Pi 1 ) Model B+, (Pi 2 ) model B also has :
- 4 USB ports
- 40 GPIO pins
- HDMI port
- Ethernet port
- Combined 3.5mm audio jack and composite video
- Camera interface (CSI)
- Display interface (DSI)
- Micro SD card slot
- VideoCore IV 3D graphics core
Because it is based on the ARMv7 processor, this Raspberry Pi 2 model B can run linux distributions such as Rapsbian, Pidora, Raspbmc, Bodhi Linux etc. As reported on the official Raspberry Pi website, this latest generation of Raspberry Pi can also run Microsoft Windows 10.
