::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)

== Citation overkill ==

I came to this article because I want to learn about RaspberryP Pi, but the article is difficult to read because of over-referencing. The opening line "Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools" does not need five references. This is out out of line with [[WP:LEAD]] and with [[WP:REFBLOAT]]. Not only is there severe reference overkill, but their use contradicts [[WP:NOTREPOSITORY]] and [[WP:NOTMANUAL]]. I suggest these guidelines be used to make this article more readable. There are 88 references which point into www.raspberrypi.org which goes against [[WP:USEPRIMARY]]. --[[User:Cornellier|Cornellier]] ([[User talk:Cornellier|talk]]) 17:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately this change remove a lot of content as well, leaving some sections somewhat garbled. [[Special:Contributions/80.4.146.162|80.4.146.162]] ([[User talk:80.4.146.162|talk]]) 13:17, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

:: The one that made me look in the first place was "...main programming language, (via the ..." - The text "BBC BASIC" use to be after the comma there. "A lot" may have been an exageration; certainly some content was lost along with the citations. Unfortunately the wikipedia diff makes this quite hard to unpick.

::: Fixed, thanks for pointing that out. Definitely butterfingers on my part, hopefully no others, I'm usually pretty careful ... but mistakes happen --[[User:Cornellier|Cornellier]] ([[User talk:Cornellier|talk]]) 15:39, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
