Computing units in this series are a common sight, among others. in smartphones due to its very low power consumption relative to the performance offered. This also makes them ideal for devices such as the Raspberry Pi 3B+. The processor uses 4 cores with a base clock speed of 1.4 GHz and is made on ARM architecture.<\/p>\n<p>The device supports 1 GB of LPDDR2-type RAM.

The board supports a standard GPIO interface (40 pins), as well as a DSI (Display Serial Interface) for connecting a touch-enabled LCD\/LED display. On top of that, Raspberry Pi 3B+ users have access to the Camera Serial Interface (CSI) camera port.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main differences from the standard 3B model is better support for communications technology. The Raspberry Pi 3B+ can count on support for Wi-Fi 5 (802.11b\/g\/n\/ac) at 2.4 GHz or GHz, as well as Gigabit Ethernet data transfer via USB.
