This is just a heads up to Lazrus/FPC users who are interested in the Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi is now available. New features include integrated wireless bluetooth, and a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 GHz.

Damn, I just bought a Raspberry Pi 2 :-/

The speed of hardware improvement is so impressive and at the same time so scary. For those of us who have spent so much time optimizing the software so as to run smoothly on earlier primitive hardware, our effect seems so obsolete and silly from hindsight.

Does anyone know if this version includes a Gigabit nic? or allows USB 3 (to let ethernet-usb conversion) ?. I've read version 2 had slow network transfer because of only allowing USB2.

Specs here says no gigabit and no USB3:

Such a unit plus Raspbian Jessie and an FPC/Lazarus installation would go a long way towards programming students with small means. The Pi2 is decent enough, but the Pi3 seems to be approaching desktop capabilities...
