During a podcast interview with RasPi.Today, Raspberry Pi Foundation founder Eben Upton revealed that they plan to release a higher performance Raspberry Pi in 2017. ???There will come a time where we want to do a higher performance Raspberry Pi, but I think we’re still some distance away from that yet,??? says Upton. ???I think that’s some way down our list of things to do. We’ve talked about 2017 as a time that we could do a higher performance Pi, and I think that’s probably still about the right time.???
