The Raspberry Pi Foundation is aiming at desktop users with Raspberry Pi 2, a 6x more powerful version of its predecessor. Upgrades include a move to a quad core 900MHz ARM Cortex-A7 MP – from a single 700MHz ARM11 – and doubling the RAM to 1Gbyte in the Pi 2 Model B. For a historical perspective, the little board is now 100 times more powerful than the original ARM-powered computer, the Acorn Archimedes, for which the ARM architecture was invented, according to Foundation co-founder and spokesman Eben Upton.
