Hello All,

just got this. For those who haven't heard already

Yes, and I just ordered one from a belgian reseller that had it on stock, so hopefully I'll be able to get it this week and see what we can do with it. At first sight, one can still use armv7hl distribution on it, even if the processor is armv8 (and so would support aarch64).

From https://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-80964?ICID=rpimain-crosspromo-b...) : "Is the Raspberry Pi 3 benefiting from ARMv8 or ARMv7 architecture?

The Raspberry Pi 3 uses the latest BRCM2837 processor, containing a quad 64 bit A53 processor running at 1.2GHz. The processor instruction set is compatible with the ARMv8-A architecture which includes backwards compatibility with the previous ARMv7-A architecture. The Raspbian distribution will only support ARMv7-A instruction set but other distributions will be able to take further advantage of the ARMv8-A instructions and 64 bit support."

So let's see :-)

That's great. I'm testing the Model2 as thinclient and it falls just a little short for video. So the Model3 might be the answer.
