Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4

This IPC core is the Raspberry Pi CM4, powered by a high-performance Broadcom BCM2711 (RPi 4) application processor.

The BCM2711 has 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 much faster input/output. It is also capable of addressing more memory.

The BCM2711 chip continues to use the heat-spreading technology that started with the BCM2837B0, which provides better thermal management.
