Raspberry Pi with a week to go

Raspberry Pi has been designed to inspire a new generation of teenage computer programmers, by a team of Cambridge entrepreneurs and academics frustrated by the lack of computer science talent emerging from schools. Much awaited, it should be availble in the next week or so. Its designers were inspired by the likes of the Sinclair Spectrum and BBC Micro - computers that hugely boosted UK computer literacy. And like those classics, you can just plug Raspberry Pi into a TV, and go. Unlike the 1980s machines, it has a powerful CPU and, as game-playing is part of the bait that will draw users in, a serious graphics engine. Even though it only consumes 3.5W max, its graphics are roughly equivalent to those in the Xbox 1. The SoC will perform something like a 300MHz Pentium 2, "only with much, much swankier graphics", said the Raspberry Pi Foundation - the self-funding education...
