Description

Introducing the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, the latest addition to our most affordable range of single-board computers. A direct successor to the pioneering Raspberry Pi Zero W, this board is a form factor-compatible drop-in replacement, making upgrades seamless and efficient. At its core lies a powerful quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, clocked at 1GHz, housed within the Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP). With 40% increased single-threaded performance and a remarkable five times more multi-threaded performance compared to the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero, the Zero 2 W is perfect for both new and seasoned developers looking to push the boundaries of their projects.
