In this new model, the chip has been replaced BCM 2836 ARMv7 Cortex at 900 MHz by the BCM 2837, ARMv8 Cortex-A53 quad-core processor of 64 bit 1, 2 GHz; but it should be noted that he keeps the bus shared between ports USB and its controller Ethernet 10/100, the major bottleneck of this micro computer.
Katika hii mfano ya Raspberry PI Lilichukuwa BCM chip 2835 ARMv6 na BCM na 2836 ARMv7 gamba na viini nne katika 900MHz na kumbukumbu yake imekuwa iliongezeka hadi 1 GB ya RAM LPDDR2, uboreshaji katika maunzi kwamba jamii aliuliza kwa vilio kutoka kwa baadhi ya wakati uliopita; na muhimu zaidi ambayo mtindo huu mpya inatoa.
