The first `powerful` Raspberry Pi is still alive and kicking and might be what you`re looking for.
The Raspberry Pi 3b (and the 3b+) was introduced way back in 2016, and for its time, it was one of the most compelling project boards available. That`s because it turns out that it was a lot more than a project board, and many a game console, home entertainment system, smart home controller, and even a few robots used the inexpensive PC board. It seemed to be able to do anything.
Nothing`s changed in 2021, except our expectations. The Pi 3b is just as powerful as it ever was, and it`s still available for anyone looking for a cheap way to get started with any DIY project. OK, so one thing changed — we now have a much more capable Raspberry Pi in version 4.
You still might find a Raspberry Pi 3b is what you need, though, so we`re taking a look at it today to see how it stacks up.
