The underlying architecture of the BCM2837 is identical to the BCM2836. The only significant difference is the replacement of the Armv7 quad core cluster with a quad-core Arm Cortex A53 (Armv8) cluster.

 The Arm cores run at 1.2GHz, making the device about 50% faster than the Raspberry Pi 2. The VideoCore IV runs at 400MHz.
 
 Please refer to the following BCM2836 document for details on the Arm peripherals specification, which also applies to the BCM2837.

+IMPORTANT: Raspberry Pi 2 Model B revisions 1.1 and 1.2 have reached End-of-Life (EoL) due to the discontinuation of the core SoC used in these products. The official EoL date was 16 October 2025. Raspberry Pi 2 Model B revision 1.3 offers the same mechanical footprint and a BCM2837B0 processor, and so is recommended for existing designs. For more information, see the official https://pip.raspberrypi.com/documents/RP-009284-PC-2?disposition=inline[Obsolescence Notice].
