Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ - Deep Dive - What's New , Real & UnChanged

Released on Pi Day by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the model B+ is the second version in the Raspberry Pi 3 Series. The model B+ went through a PCB redesign incorporating a new "System-On-Chip" package, a 200 MHz processor speed increase and Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2. It also has improved WiFi compliance and is now officially classified as a Dual-Band Radio Module.

Over the past 3 years, the Raspberry Pi has undergone a 30+ percent performance boost through firmware, hardware & software optimisations. The new PCB Design & SoC Packaging of the Raspberry Pi 3 B Plus has significantly improved heat distribution over the first version. However, active cooling is still very important because of the 200 MHz processor speed overclock and the fact it uses twice as much current when running at full cpu load.
