The Raspberry Pi 3 has beenreleased and is on sale now for $35. "For Raspberry Pi 3,Broadcom have supported us with a new SoC, BCM2837. This retains the samebasic architecture as its predecessors BCM2835 and BCM2836, so all thoseprojects and tutorials which rely on the precise details of the RaspberryPi hardware will continue to work. The 900MHz 32-bit quad-core ARMCortex-A7 CPU complex has been replaced by a custom-hardened 1.2GHz 64-bitquad-core ARM Cortex-A53. Combining a 33% increase in clock speed withvarious architectural enhancements, this provides a 50-60% increase inperformance in 32-bit mode versus Raspberry Pi 2, or roughly a factor often over the original Raspberry Pi."
