The ''[https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/ Raspberry Pi 3]'' finally has built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 (and BLE) and still only costs 35$. In comparison to the ''Raspberry Pi 2'', the processor is about 50% faster with the 64-bit, 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A53 and the graphics chips' speed is increased to 400 MHz. On the other side, the maximal current consumption is increased to 2.5 A.

Like the old IGLOOs, it's based on the non-volatile Flash technology, with it's advantages of independence from external configuration devices, lower power (flash freeze), higher radiation immunity and security. Up until now, Flash based devices have been rather small. But with IGLOO2, Microsemi is now in direct competition with the other important FPGA manufacturers. IGLOO2 has
* 6-150 kLUTs (like Xilinx Artix-7 or Spartan6)
* up to 16 5G SerDes (competitors: &lt;10)
* max. 574 User IOs (like Spartan6, more than Artix-7)
* 700-5000 kBits RAM
* up to 2 DDR controllers and 4 PCIe endpoints
The M2GL050 is already shipping and starts at less than $7USD for high volume orders.
