Running the Whetstone Pi A7 benchmarking application returned a score of 711 for the Raspberry Pi 3 to the Pi 2’s 432 – around 65% quicker. Loading the Alphr home page in Raspbian’s Epiphany browser showed a significant advantage for the Pi 3, though, rendering the page in 21 seconds compared with 27 seconds on the Pi 2, although scrolling through data-heavy websites can still be pretty jerky. Booting into Raspbian takes around the same as on the Pi 2 at around 31 seconds, and application launch times aren’t all that different either, with LibreOffice Writer and Calc launching in around 5-6 seconds on both devices. Raspberry Pi 3 review: Performa nce and power consumptionĪs for performance, that’s a mixed bag. Transfer rates weren’t much quicker when we were right next to the router, however here I saw a maximum of 19Mbits/sec, compared with more than 80Mbits/sec from the laptop.

At a distance of 10m from the router and through a couple of walls, I managed to transfer data at a rate of 12Mbits/sec, compared with 26Mbits/sec from an 802.11n laptop. It’s as simple as that.Īs for performance, that’s surprisingly good, considering how small the wireless antenna is – a teeny tiny oblong situated where the status LEDs used to be on the Raspberry Pi 2.

Click the network icon in the top-right corner of the screen, select your network, enter your password and you’re good to go. I installed the latest version of Raspbian this way and had no problem connecting using the Pi 3’s new Wi-Fi connectivity to hook up to both the office network and networks at home. These are still managed by the board’s VideoCore IV component, but it does run at an improved clock speed of 400MHz, where last year’s Raspberry Pi 2 ran at 250MHz. The Pi 3 hasn’t changed its graphics capabilities.

The Raspberry Pi 2’s processor was a 900MHz chip, so on paper, it’s a pretty hefty performance boost.

Along with the wireless improvements, the processor has been given a boost, with the Raspberry Pi 3 now featuring a 64-bit, 1.2GHz quad-core Broadcom BCM2837 SoC based on ARM’s Cortex-A53 CPU architecture. That alone will be reason enough for most Pi enthusiasts to rush out and buy one, but there’s more. Hobbyists and project builders will no longer need to budget for a cumbersome USB dongle or factor in extra space in their project cases, and for those using the Pi as a low-cost desktop computer, it frees up a precious USB socket.

The big news for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is that there’s now built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4 alongside the existing wired 10/100 Ethernet connection, which is a bonus on a number of different levels.
