The next generation Raspberry Pi will be released no earlier than 2017

As already mentioned on the Habré , the Raspberry Pi Foundation has released an updated version of the “raspberry”, it’s about the Raspberry Pi Model B + with more USB ports and GPIO pins. However, this model is an updated old version, not a new generation mini-PC.

In the comments to the post about the Raspberry Pi Model B + was asked about the release date of the new generation of the device. The other day, the developers decided on a date: the next version, with a faster processor and other goodies, will be released no earlier than 2017. So wait for a long time.

The developers plan to make the device more productive, so that on the desktop, based on the "Malinka", you can work with 3D graphics.

In addition, for the new version of the Raspberry Pi it is planned to create a new software, including HTML5 browser that can play HD videos from YouTube. The first version of this browser will be available in 3 months, and the instructions for working with the beta version are posted here .

Of course, 3 years is a long time. During this time, faster processors, updated technologies, miniature computer chips may appear on the market (and will appear). Two years have passed since the release of the Raspberry Pi, yes, and this mini-PC is still quite in demand.

But after three years, the situation may change radically. Already there are analogues (more or less high-quality) like SolidRun HummingBoard, pcDuino3, Banana Pi, and ECS LIVA. For three years, competitors can go far ahead, plus there may be new competitors.
