Performance difference between RPi3 Made in UK and PRC

Wed May 04, 2016 4:16 pm

I just bought Raspberry Pi 3 model B from distributor in US. I noticed it is made in China (PRC). It has some differences compared to UK version. Some connectors colors are different. Is there any performance difference between made in UK and China versions?

Not at all. There's always variation in silicon, but that comes from the same source.

I own Pis from both sources. The only time there is a performance difference is when the SD cards differ. The cheap ones can perform quite poorly. I've been replacing them as a result.
