  • VideoCore VII GPU
  • LPDDR4X-4267 SDRAM (4GB and 8GB SKUs available at launch)
  • 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz 802.11ac Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth 5.0 / Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
  • Micro SD card slot, with support for high-speed SDR104 mode
  • 2 × USB 3.0 ports, supporting simultaneous 5Gbps operation
  • 2 × USB 2.0 ports
  • Gigabit Ethernet, with PoE+ support (requires PoE+ HAT)
