![]() The new Raspberry Pi 3 CPU can scale, enabling it to power down when not in use but spring into life when needed. The new Pi 3 CPU is 64bit, and while the Raspbian operating system is still 32bit, the extra headroom is still utilised giving us a speed boost. Faster CPU, more CPU power enables our Raspberry Pi 3 to index our media library quicker.So how can this help our media server project? The CPU of the Raspberry Pi 3 is an ARM Cortex A53 clocked at 1.2GHz per core, giving us the most powerful Raspberry Pi ever! The new Raspberry Pi 3 is now 66% faster than the Raspberry Pi 2 and is approximately 10X faster than the original Raspberry Pi. VideoCore IV GPU and 3D now clocked at 400MHz and 300MHz respectively. ![]() Broadcom BCM43438 WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity.Broadcom Quad Core 64bit CPU 1.2GHz (BCM2837 SoC).Photo Credit - Raspberry Pi Foundation Technical Specifications But on February 29th 2016 the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced their latest board, the Raspberry Pi 3. Recently we built a Plex Media Server using the Raspberry Pi 2, at the time the Raspberry Pi 2 was the most powerful board in the Raspberry Pi range.
