The device, described as a fully fledged member of the Raspberry Pi family, features a Broadcom BCM2835 application processor, whose 1GHz ARM11 core is 40% faster than that of the original Raspberry Pi. It also has 512Mbyte of LPDDR2 SDRAM, a micro-SD card slot, a mini-HDMI socket for 1080p60 video output and Micro-USB sockets for data and power. Other features include an unpopulated 40pin GPIO header with an identical pinout to Model A+/B+/2B and an unpopulated composite video header.
According to Raspberry PI, while several tens of thousands of units have been produced and more are on the way, it expects demand to outstrip supply in the short term.
