that this makes the RPi a great (and very cheap) source for obtaining cryptographic quality random numbers.

== Core chip : also from Samsung ==

Broadcom is not the only provider for the core chip. I read a Samsung K4P4G324EQ-RGC2 on my newly bought Pi B+. The B+ used as illustration seems also to be carrying a Samsung chip. The multifunction chip near USB ports is an SMSC LAN9514-JZX. Perhaps some "BOM guru" could enlighten us on hardware details as seen on the B+.

:You can't actually see the SoC since the RAM chip is stacked on top. 09:20, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

::OP, what you call the "core" chip isn't the Broadcom chip! Its the Package on Package (PoP) DRAM chip that is stuck on top of the actual broadcom SoC, which is exclusively from broadcom! The Samsung chip is just RAM. [[User:Mahjongg|Mahjongg]] ([[User talk:Mahjongg|talk]]) 16:06, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
