Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ (CM3+)
The Compute Module 3+ (CM3+) is a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ in a flexible form factor, intended for industrial applications.
Specification
The CM3+ Compute Module contains the guts of a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (the BCM2837 processor and 1GB RAM) as well as an optional eMMC Flash device of 8GB, 16GB or 32GB (which is the equivalent of the SD card in the Pi).
Broadcom BCM2837B0, Cortex-A53 (ARMv8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.2GHz
1GB LPDDR2 SDRAM
8GB/16GB/32GB eMMC Flash memory, or a Lite variant without eMMC Flash memory
This is all integrated onto a small (67.6mm × 31mm) board that fits into a standard DDR2 SODIMM connector. The Flash memory is connected directly to the processor on the board, but the remaining processor interfaces are available to the user via the connector pins. You get the full flexibility of the BCM2837 SoC (which means that many more GPIOs and interfaces are available than with a standard Raspberry Pi), and designing the Module into a custom system should be relatively straightforward because we’ve put all the tricky bits onto the Module itself.
- The CM3+ Lite product is the same as CM3+ except the eMMC Flash is not fitted, and the SD/eMMC interface pins are available for the users to connect their own SD/eMMC device.
- Note that the CM3+ is electrically identical and, with the exception of higher CPU z-height, physically identical to the legacy CM3 products.
- CM3+ modules require a software/firmware image dated November 2018 or newer to function correctly.

FAQ
1. Should I continue to use Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ for a new design?
It will depend on your own application, if you don’t need wireless function and 4K display, Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3+ is a good option for a new design, its power consumption is much lower than Compute Module 4, it doesn’t need a heatsink or fan since the CPU is not so hot when it runs at the full speed.
Raspberry Pi committed to supply until at least January 2026.
