On the first glance the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B looks exactly like its previous version of Pi 2. The very same size of the device however, is much more powerful and has many more specs enhancements along with the processing power associated with it. The new Pi 3 Model B comes with the built in Wi-Fi feature along with the enhanced 1 GB of RAM along with the better and faster microprocessor from Broadcom. Certainly the 4th year of this device has brought much more to the computing world and has been one of the most talked about mini computer with the ability to perform and support great things.
The new enhanced Raspberry Pi 3 is 50% faster than the previous version of Pi 2. This new version has come up with 10X faster processing speed and this was achieved in the very short span of just 13 months. The performance has improved so much that this new board can play the videos with 1080p at 60 fps speed. It has become like a PC-like board with multi threaded CPU processing. Pi 3 has increased the possibility of running several more OSes such as Android and Chromium OS. Certainly this little board has a lot of improvements and enhancements achieved in a just over a year.
This stunning device has so many credentials, which are acting as a feather on the cap for the Raspberry community. Below are the specs of this device, which concludes the wholeness of this device.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is almost a PC-like board and can be used majorly in IoT based products. With the increased use and reach of internet, it makes complete sense to create ease to use devices for making human life better, faster, and less stressful. Internet of Things has brought this perspective and Raspberry Pi 3 is a board, which is widely used to support multiple projects that are undergoing in the same direction. Few examples of the same are:
To conclude, it is advisable and highly recommended to use Raspberry Pi 3 for creating amazing smart devices and yet package them into smaller sizes. Raspberry Pi will certainly create revolution in the coming years and one of the cheaper, faster and powerful boards to address your next IoT project on hand.
