Raspberry Pi B+
More than two years after the model B was launched, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is back with a new and improved mini computer. Here’s everything you need to know about the Raspberry Pi B+’s specs.
Raspberry Pi B+: Specs
The new Raspberry Pi B+ board includes the same 512MB of RAM and Broadcom BCM2835 SoC as the model B. However, there are upgrades in other areas.
The Model B+ now comes packed with 40 pins on the GPIO (general-purpose input/output) header keeping the same pinout mapping for the first 26 pins as the model B. There are now two additional USB 2.0 ports meaning you don’t need to use a USB hub for plugging in anything on top of a keyboard and mouse.
Instead of full-size SD cards, the B+ takes microSD cards and the new slot has a push-push feel to it meaning it should behave more like the SD and microSD slots on other devices.
