They've been releasing videos which talk about various aspects of the Pi 5 design in some detail, and I've found them really interesting: https://www.youtube.com/@raspberrypi/videos I was surprised by just how much of the hardware and software of the Pi 5 was custom designed by (or for) the Raspberry Pi org. Custom MIPI implementation, custom IO chip, custom image signal processor, custom camera drivers (w/libcamera), custom video drivers (w/Mesa+DRM). They were able to cut out pretty much all of the Broadcom firmware and the VideoCore is no longer handling the bootup process. |

Nope that part remains. The VideoCore VPU does almost nothing other than that and power management on the RPi5 though
