Raspberry Pi has released a new board calledthe Zero 2 W— and, excitingly, it costs just $15. It has more than five times more power than its predecessor, thanks to a new quad-core CPU.
This makes it ideal for building small media servers, pet monitors, or any number of similar development projects. Before we talk about how it compares with the Zero W, let’s take a look at its specifications.
Specifications
The previous version of the board only had one ARM-based core clocked at 1Ghz. What’s more, the new iteration also works on 64 bits, rather than sticking to the 32. Improved data processing, here we come.
The new version also supports a H.264 video decoder, so you can process full HD video stream at 30 frames per second.
