"Compute Module 3" for built-in devices that is 10 times faster than the previous model with Raspberry Pi 3 as one module appeared

To the module board "Compute Module" for installing Raspberry Pi in embedded devices, "New SoC adopted"Compute Module 3"Has appeared. In the new Compute Module 3, the CPU performance is improved by 10 times compared with the previous model.

Compute Module 3 Launch! - Raspberry Pi

This is "Compute Module 3". The form factor is a DDR2 SODIMM, a board (System on Module: SoM) for "Built-in Raspberry Pi in embedded devices". Depending on the program, you can have many functions, and you can add functions by installing Raspberry Pi with a wide range of application in embedded devices.


SoC is Broadcom's BCM 2837 (up to 1.2 GHz) "Raspberry Pi 3Like the quad-core 64-bit CPU · ARM Cortex-A 53 is adopted. It is equipped with 1 GB of LPDDR 2 memory.


There are two types, "CM 3" (left) with 4 GB eMMC and "CM 3 L" (right) with SD card PIN instead of storage.


I / O board "Compute Module IO Board" for programming Compute Module 3 is also a new type "Compute Module IO Board V3"Has appeared.


Compute Module 3 (left) has ten times the CPU performance and twice the memory capacity compared with "Compute Module" (right) that appeared to incorporate the original Raspberry Pi in the embedded device. Also, since it is the same DDR2 SODIMM standard, it seems that the old Compute Module used in embedded devices will be replaced with the new Compute Module 3. By the way, although it is the 2nd generation as a Compute Module product, the product name is "Compute Module" 3 "" to match the 3rd generation Raspberry Pi with the numbering.


The use of Compute Module 3 has already begun, and NEC Display Solutions Europe, partnered with Raspberry Pi, has already exceeded 40 inchesAnnounced that Compute Module 3 will be installed on a large displaydoing.


The Compute Module 3 is sold for $ 30 (about 3400 yen) for CM 3 and $ 25 (about 2900 yen) for CM 3 L. With Compute Module 3, the Compute Module of the previous model costs 25 dollars (about 2900 yen) Price has been revised to.
