electronupdate also published a more detailed video for the teardown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb8AB8bsQSk

The Pi5 southbridge was codenamed RP1, the RP2040 was RP2, and the RP2350 is apparently RP4. What might RP3 be I wonder? The boring prediction is that it's just a new southbridge for the Pi6, but one can hope they eventually split with Broadcom and do their own in-house Linux SoC which they would be able to document properly.

RP3 is the Pi Zero 2 W SiP

Oh, that's even more boring. Fingers crossed for RP5 then...

RP5 with CM5?

That channel is great, would be great to find repositories of similar hacker/electronics channels, if anyone has some.
