![]() There’s no built-in flash storage, but there is an M.2 Key-M slot on the bottom. The RK3588 itself features four Cortex A55 and four Cortex A76 cores, seemingly organised into three clusters (4 x A55, and two sets of 2 x A76 cores), a Mali-G610 MP4 GPU and a 6 TOPS three-core NPU. The Orange Pi 5 features the powerful new RK3588S SoC and a configurable 4/8/16/32 GB of LPDDR4 RAM (however, conflicting information can be found online about this – some official sources stating 2/4/8/16 GB configs instead). While all sorts of different SoCs, of course, can be found – like Allwinner’s H-series CPUs, and even some produced by Realtek or NXP – in a pile of random single-board computers, one’s poised to find the majority powered by these two very chips. While Amlogic’s S905X-series of processors proves ubiquitous in lower-end SBCs, higher-performance ones rather often opted for the aforementioned RK3399. A53 cores are A55 cores’ direct predecessor, coming out in 2012, and A72 cores are generations out-of-date (due to the yearly release cycle of high-performance cores). A55 high-efficiency cores aren’t that bad – they are a 2017 design, and their only true successor, the A510 core, came out in 2021. Without digging deeper into all the nitty-gritty, there’s one thing in common with all of these designs – they are old. Except the Raspberry Pi 4B, which is fully A72-based, most of the competitors are based on Cortex A55 cores (and occasionally, A53 ones) with some A72 cores thrown in the mix, if you’re lucky (usually provided by the Rockchip RK3399 SoC). The manufacturer sent us this Orange Pi 5 review unit, for which we’re thankful.īy virtue of being the most common, ARM SBC models have the toughest competition. These are the most common type of SBC – with significantly more rare x86-based ones forming the majority of the rest (RISC-V CPUs are also used in single-board computers, rather seldomly, however). This time around it’s the Orange Pi 5, a recently released RK3588S-based high-end model from Orange Pi – a company whose main products are ARM-based SBCs oriented towards makers. Yet another SBC landed on our review desk.
