Description
Raspberry Pi 3 B+: the reliable, proven Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is the most refined version of the Raspberry Pi 3 generation: 64-bit quad-core processor at 1.4 GHz, 1 GB of memory, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2 and Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0. It keeps the form factor and layout of the Raspberry Pi 2 B and 3 B, making it compatible with their cases and accessories. A robust board for home automation, lightweight servers, retrogaming or like-for-like replacement of an existing installation.
Highlights
- BCM2837B0 at 1.4 GHz, four 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores.
- 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11ac with modular certification, Bluetooth 4.2 and BLE.
- Four USB 2.0 ports and full-size HDMI: no adapter needed.
- CSI camera and DSI display connectors, audio and composite video output on a 4-pole jack.
- PoE possible with a separate PoE HAT.
- Guaranteed production until at least January 2028.

Which one to choose? Raspberry Pi 3 B+, 3 B, 3 A+ or Raspberry Pi 4
| Model | Processor | Memory | Network | For whom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raspberry Pi 3 B+ | 4 cores 1.4 GHz | 1 GB | Gigabit over USB 2.0, dual-band Wi-Fi | Versatility, compatibility with existing setups |
| Raspberry Pi 3 Model B | 4 cores 1.2 GHz | 1 GB | 10/100 Ethernet, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi | Like-for-like replacement of a Pi 3 B |
| Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ | 4 cores 1.4 GHz | 512 MB | Dual-band Wi-Fi, no Ethernet | Compact and embedded projects |
| Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 2 GB | 4 cores 1.8 GHz | 2 GB | Native Gigabit, dual-band Wi-Fi | More power, USB 3.0, dual 4K displays |
The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ remains relevant for projects that do not need more than 1 GB, for classrooms equipped with Pi 3 accessories and for uses that favor standard HDMI and micro-USB connectors. For a smooth graphical desktop, go for a Raspberry Pi 4.
Compatibility and pitfalls
- Power supply : 5 V 2.5 A micro-USB recommended. An underpowered supply causes undervoltage.
- Ethernet throughput : the port is Gigabit but connected over USB 2.0, about 300 Mbit/s maximum.
- Cooling : under sustained load, heatsinks help limit frequency throttling.
- Operating system : Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit or 64-bit; with 1 GB, the Lite version is recommended for a server.
- Camera : Raspberry Pi camera modules plug directly into the 15-pin CSI connector.
Recommended accessories
- official 12.5 W micro-USB power supply : 5.1 V 2.5 A, the recommended value.
- Official Raspberry Pi 3B+ case : designed for this form factor.
- Official HDMI cable: full-size HDMI, no adapter.
- Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT : power and networking over a single Ethernet cable.
- Set of 4 heatsinks: for sustained loads.
Uses and projects
- Home automation : gateway or controller for a modest Home Assistant or Jeedom installation.
- Rétrogaming of 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, see our retrogaming kits.
- Network server : Pi-hole, VPN, monitoring.
