The Future of Rasberry Pi

Former Member

I'm just wondering how you would try to answer these questions.

1.) When do you think Raspberry Pi 2 Model A will come out?

2.) Do you think that the A Unit will still be $20?

3.) Will the A Unit outrun the B Unit?

  • Hi Brian,

     

    1) Well it took over a year for the original model A to appear after the model B was shipping. Of course a lot of time and energy was spent getting the supply to catch up to the overwhelming

          of the B.

    2) I think that will probably be one of the main objectives and judging by the $35 price of the Pi 2, I think it can be done.

    3) Not exactly sure which A and B you are talking about but here is what I think you mean. The Pi 2 model A will certainly be faster than the original model B. I assume that to be able to meet

          the $20 price point it will also settle for 512 MB SDRAM and reduced I/O although going for 2 USB and 10/100 Ethernet on the Pi 2 model A for $20 would be an definite plus.
