The Raspberry Pi has become the most popular British computer yet made.

Exactly four years ago today the original 256MB Raspberry Pi was released to the public, and since then the sales for the little computer have been unbelievable. According to the Raspberry Pi project founder, Eben Upton, they have shipped over eight million units, including three million units of Raspberry Pi 2, making it “the UK’s all-time best-selling computer”.

In celebration of their birthday, comes the timely unveiling of Raspberry Pi 3. The latest version of the computer will feature a faster 64-bit processor with built-in wi-fi and Bluetooth connections.

"This is the first Pi you can stick behind your TV and completely forget about," said Mr Upton.

Upton has assured us that earlier versions of the Raspberry Pi will still be available, as long as they are in demand.
