RT-86U CPU

[NoelS]

A little confused on the CPU. Forum/online info seems to indicate the CPU is a Cortex-A53, but Merlin System Information reports it as a B53?

Probably all descriptions are correct.

But the above references BCM4908 and BCM4906 CPUs, both of which are listed as A53s here: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom
Also, in the SNB review here: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wir...86u-dual-band-ac2900-wireless-router-reviewed
it's listed as a Broadcom BCM4906 dual-core ARM v8 Cortex A53 @ 1.8 GHz
Just wondering if the firmware designation is incorrect, or if something changed.

B53 is just Broadcom's variant on the A53. They're more or less the same thing.
