Exactly four years ago, on 29 February 2012, we unleashed the original 256MB Raspberry Pi Model B on a largely unsuspecting world. Since then, we’ve shipped over eight million units, including three million units of Raspberry Pi 2, making us the UK’s all-time best-selling computer. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has grown from a handful of volunteers to have over sixty full-time employees, including our new friends from Code Club. We’ve sent a Raspberry Pi to the International Space Station and are training teachers around the world through our Picademy program.

In celebration of our fourth birthday, we thought it would be fun to release something new. Accordingly, Raspberry Pi 3 is now on sale for $35 (the same price as the existing Raspberry Pi 2), featuring:

A 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 CPU (~10x the performance of Raspberry Pi 1)
Integrated 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.1
Complete compatibility with Raspberry Pi 1 and 2

Why no DDR3 RAM yet? DDR2 is too old.

Article does not state the type of RAM. Do you have source that states RAM type of Raspberry Pi 3?

They are probably using DDR2 because of a limitation of the VC4 chip.

Never used a raspberry pi before so wondering if this pi3 will have support for windows 7/10 ? I am planning to setup a low power HTPC and Download machine this year end but windows 10 in necessity.

No! they mentioned for support of Windows 10 IoT Core Develop Windows 10 IoT apps on Raspberry Pi 2 and Arduin
Windows 10 proper experience is different from Windows 10 IoT Core
