If it is a vanilla Broadcom Soc then die space is not really their consideration or decision. But maybe it is customised for RPi?
Can't find the datasheet for the BCM2712 right now.
- gjsman-1000 3y agoWell, to quote Gordon Hollingworth on the original post: "In future we’ll have to do something, but for Pi 5 we feel the hardware encode is a mm^2 too far." Also, Raspberry Pi Foundation and Broadcom have been really working together on successors since the... BCM2787 in the Raspberry Pi 3, if I remember correctly? Broadcom still reserves the right to sell to anyone, but the Pi is still the primary customer for those specific chips now.
