Just curious, could you show any other product that uses BCM2711? I don't know whether exact same chip is used other than RPi.
Even exact same chip isn't used for other than RPI, its design should be shared to other SoCs, so it can be cheap.

> > Hi all – I'm curious about the origin of the chip used in the Pi 4, the Broadcom BCM2711. Was it designed specifically for the Pi? I can't find any reference to it on the Broadcom website, which is strange, nor any record of its use in any other device, e.g. a smartphone.
> Sort of. The BCM2835 (Pi 1) was originally designed as a set top box SoC and was used in devices like the 1st gen Roku boxes. The BCM2836 (Pi 2), BCM2837 (Pi 3) and BCM2837B0 (Pi 3+) were designed for and only used by Pi boards. The BCM2711 was designed for and only used by the Pi 4 but it is closely related to a new BCM7211 which is for set top box usage.
