and just two months after I bought a Pi 2 from Microsoft Store. Here are some highlights, possibly inaccurately remembered. Better - Arm A53: significantly faster than the A7(?) in the Pi 2. 64-bit - built in bluetooth and WiFi. These apparently go through SDIO, bypassing the USB bottleneck. - faster clocking for the GPU (I think) Worse: - takes more power to run. You might need a new power supply Same: - no price increase! - same case and peripherals as Pi 2 (but LEDs move) - all USB is 2.0 (no USB 3.x) - too much goes through a single internal USB 2.0 bus (ethernet, 4 usb ports) - although the processor is 64-bit, the software is still 32-bit. I hope that this will change. - 1G of RAM
