What it is
BCM2711 is a Broadcom chip used in the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.[1][3]
The BCM2711 is a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A72 system on chip with a 1.5 GHz processor core specification and support for up to 8GB LPDDR4-2400 SDRAM depending on model. It includes PCIe bus connectivity, an onboard Ethernet port, dual HDMI video output, and composite video output.[1]
How it works
The BCM2711 continues the quad-core CPU design of the BCM2837, but uses the more powerful ARM A72 core. It has a greatly improved GPU feature set with faster input/output, due to the incorporation of a PCIe link that connects the USB 2 and USB 3 ports, and a natively attached Ethernet controller.[1][3]
The ARM cores are capable of running at up to 1.5 GHz, the VideoCore VI 3D unit runs at up to 500 MHz, and the ARM cores are 64-bit. A new Memory Management Unit allows the chip to access more memory than previous versions.[1][3]
Applications
The BCM2711 supports H.265 4Kp60 decode, H.264 1080p60 decode and 1080p30 encode, and OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics. Its I/O includes a PCIe bus, onboard Ethernet port, DSI ports, CSI ports, I2C, UART, SPI, dual HDMI video output, and composite video output.[1]
