The new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus ...
now comes with approx. 10% more power, an integrated A/C radio module for 2.4GHz or 5GHz WiFi (WLAN) and Bluetooth 4.2!
The processor is based on the Broadcom SoC known and used from the Pi3 and has 4 cores (Quad Core CPU) like the Pi3 model, but now clocks at 1.4 GHz.

The new performance boost makes it much easier to use as a power-saving desktop replacement in the office or at home. Applications run more easily, more smoothly and still very energy-efficiently. Thanks to the passive cooling (if necessary at all), this developer board is also ideal for use in the living room, e.g. as a media centre. The increase in performance is also very noticeable here!
Nevertheless, the dimensions remain HAT compatible and the board is just as large, or rather small, as the still current predecessor models Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or the “one” B+.

As the connections for image, sound and USB data have also remained in the same place, most previous housings will also be suitable for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. Only those who have integrated heat dissipation will have to resort to suitable new cases, as the CPU design (height) has changed.

But beware, there is also a fundamental change in the power supply!
Due to the more powerful processor (1.4GHz CPU) and the integrated WLAN/Bluetooth radio chip, the energy consumption has increased. As a result, a 5.1V/2.5A power supply unit (MircoUSB) is required! The usual, weaker 5V/2A Micro USB universal plug-in power supplies may therefore be unsuitable for the new Raspberry Pi3 Model B+. Please note that in this case, the recommended, compatible MicroUSB power supply with 5.1 volts and 2.5 amps should also be ordered.
