New Multi-Core Raspberry Pi 2 Launches

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday February 1, 2015 @04:00PM from the brand-new dept.

First time accepted submitter MicroHex writes Coming in at the same $35 price-point that has come to be expected from the Raspberry Pi, it looks like the new Model 2 will be packing a quad-core ARM processor with a GB of RAM. From the article: "The Raspberry Pi Foundation is likely to provoke a global geekgasm today with the surprise release of the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B: a turbocharged version of the B+ boasting a new Broadcom BCM2836 900MHz quad-core system-on-chip with 1GB of RAM – all of which will drive performance "at least 6x" that of the B+."

Uff, how can you talk about ".crapNET" bloatware when your name indicates you are a Ruby fanboy? :D

The problem with the Pi isn't whether you want to run X on it or not.
