Traces of new Pi hardware spotted in GitHub
Code found in the raspberrypi/linux repository indicates a successor to the Pi Zero 2 W is in development. The new board may utilize the Broadcom BCM271 SoC, potentially offering significant performance gains over the current RP3A0. However, concerns remain regarding heat management in the small form factor and the potential cost of adding eMMC storage.
Key points
- GitHub leaks point to the Pi Zero 3 W and Pi 4A.
- The new hardware may use the Broadcom BCM271 SoC.
- Performance is expected to increase, though thermal throttling remains a concern.
