Raspberry Pi 3

[jl_678]

Hi,

I am a backer of the Pine 64 and am looking forward to the arrival of my unit board in March.  It is always interesting to see what other companies are doing and I noticed that the Raspberry Pi Foundation release the Raspberry Pi 3, and it has some interesting specs.  Here are some highlights:

1. 64 bit Quad Cortex A53 @ 1.2GHz
   
2. 1 GB SDRAM
   
3. 40mhz VideoCore IV
   
4. Integrated WiFi and Bluetooth
   
5. Price - $35
   

I find these specs to be interesting and the cost is competitive to the Pine considering that it includes WiFi and Bluetooth.  I am curious about other people's perspectives.

I have multiple RPi's and love the strength of Linux and community support.  The SBC is an interesting alternative.  Do you agree?  Why or why not?
