The New 4-core Raspberry Pi

[skrodahl]

The new Raspberry Pi Model 2 from Raspberry Foundation will have a 900MHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/02/02 ... i_model_2/

The article, although I can't find any other sources to back it up, says that the new model goes on sale "today" with the usual price of $35.

One of the good features of the Pi is low power consumption. I'd be interested to know how the Pi 2 compares in that respect.

"The Pi has faced some criticism..."
Damn, I can't understand how such a issue could be tolerated and left untouched. The forums are full of people complaining of the poor USB implementation, which makes the Rpi almost unusable for a full spectrum of applications (among which USB audio).

I just ordered one 2 minutes ago. Guess I'll have it within 3 days. When I have the model 2B I let you now if it works with Rune audio. From what I read it should work, but I'm no Linux guru.

Would this have power for room correction FIR-filter?

Since the RP 2 has a different processor, don't you need different kernel files to make it work?
Room correction would be nice indeed
An even faster GUI is also nice off course.
