Raspberry Pi 2 - Model B - ARMv7 with 1G RAM delivers 6 times the processing capacity of previous models. This second generation Raspberry Pi has an upgraded Broadcom BCM2836 processor, which is a powerful ARM Cortex-A7 based quad-core processor that runs at 900MHz. The board also features an increase in memory capacity to 1Gbyte.
The big upgrade is a move from the BCM2835 (single core ARMv6) to BCM2836 (quad core ARMv7). The upgrade in processor types means you will see ~2x performance increase just on processor-upgrade only. For software that can take advantage of multiple-core processors, you can expect 4x performance on average and for really multi-thread-friendly code, up to 7.5x increase in speed! That's not even taking into account the 1 Gig of RAM, which will greatly improve games and web-browser performance!
Best of all, Raspberry Pi 2 - Model B - ARMv7 with 1G RAM keeps the same shape, connectors and mounting holes as the Raspberry Pi B+. That means that all of your HATs and other plug-in daughterboards will work just fine. 99% of cases and accessories will be fully compatible with both versions.
Provides Open GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30
