ARM64, not ARMv7.

Also, from what I hear, binaries need to be compiled specifically for this - others just use a slower JIT emulator.

The Raspberry Pi 3 is ARM64 (Cortex-A53). However the Raspberry Pi foundation has thus far chosen not to ship an aarch64 version of Raspbian so software for previous Raspberry Pi units remains compatible.

The BCM2837 on the RPi 3 is ARMv8 (aarch64/ARM64). [0]
