The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is the successor to the successful mini-computer Raspberry Pi 2. Despite its extremely compact size, it represents a fully functional PC thanks to its 1.2 GHz quad-core ARMv8 processor and 1 GB of RAM. It is suitable for a variety of applications, such as serving as the foundation for a web server, a media center PC, or for control tasks. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is also equipped with four USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100 Mbps LAN connection, as well as WLAN 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.1 with Bluetooth Low Energy. The integrated graphics feature an HDMI and an AV output and are capable of playing videos in Full HD (1080p). Sound output can also be done through either the HDMI or the AV output. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B does not have a conventional hard drive connection; instead, it has a microSD card reader where a memory card is inserted as the boot medium. Power is supplied via a micro-USB port, similar to those found in modern mobile devices like smartphones or tablets. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is extremely energy-efficient, consuming only about 4 watts during operation.
