there's a new Raspberry Pi in town the Raspberry Pi 2 model B here's what you need to know about the new version of this cheap versatile microcomputer the PI 2 has a souped-up quad-core processor clocked at 900 megahertz plus one gigabyte of RAM its makers say it's about 6 times faster than its predecessor despite being a lot more powerful the new Pi will cost the same as the last model B port which is $35 you'll need to be quite technically minded to set it up but if you're willing to experiment that's a lot of computing power for your money Microsoft has confirmed there will be a free Raspberry Pi compatible version of Windows 10 it'll be a version that brings developer tools so it won't be for everyone but it'll be interesting to see what the union of Windows 10 and Raspberry Pi creates apply 2 is more powerful but its connections are unchanged you get a microSD card slots four USB ports HDMI Ethernet as well as other ports for plugging in accessories or extra hardware this latest effort is compatible with Raspberry Pi 1 boards so apps or electronics built for the original Raspberry Pi should still work that's good news if you have existing PI projects on the go the PI 2 model B goes on sale today Raspberry Pi is already one of the most exciting things to happen to computing in recent years so we can't wait to see what new projects the PI 2 makes possible
