It is indeed a broadcom chip. It's like the Pi2 but with a quad cortex 
A53 complex instead of the quad cortex A7 complex and with a 
substantially bumped up clockspeed. Ram is still limited to 1GB by 
limitations in the videocore bus strutucture.

Right now only a 32-bit kernel is available from raspberry pi. There is 
a config.txt option to make the cores start in 64-bit mode ( 
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=137963#p915771 ) 
but it's not clear if Raspberry Pi will put in the effort to do a 64-bit 
port of the platform code in the kernel and if not whether someone else 
will.
