Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
Relase date: October, 2021
The Raspberry Pi Zero W and the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W are similar in many ways, as they are both small and low-cost single board computers that are based on the Raspberry Pi Zero. However, there are some key differences between the two:
- The Raspberry Pi Zero W has a single-core processor, while the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W has a dual-core processor. In other words, the Zero 2 W is generally faster and more powerful than the Zero W.
- At 1 GB, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W has double the amount of memory available for running programs and handling data.
- Both the Raspberry Pi Zero W and the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W have built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, but the Zero 2 W has an upgraded wireless chip that supports faster speeds and a wider range of frequencies.
