and just two months after I bought a Pi 2 from Microsoft Store.
Here are some highlights, possibly inaccurately remembered.
Better
- Arm A53: significantly faster than the A7(?) in the Pi 2. 64-bit
- built in bluetooth and WiFi. These apparently go through SDIO,
bypassing the USB bottleneck.
- faster clocking for the GPU (I think)
Worse:
- takes more power to run. You might need a new power supply
Same:
- no price increase!
- same case and peripherals as Pi 2 (but LEDs move)
- all USB is 2.0 (no USB 3.x)
- too much goes through a single internal USB 2.0 bus (ethernet,
4 usb ports)
- although the processor is 64-bit, the software is still 32-bit. I hope
that this will change.
- 1G of RAM
