The Rockchip 3588-based Orange Pi 5, 5b and 5+ are readily available. The MSRP is a little higher than RPi4 but they have significantly more CPU/GPU power and I/O. The new 5+ looks to be a viable desktop replacement with m.2 NVME, dual 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, dual HDMI 2.1 and USB 3.1.
- sliken 3y agoSignificantly more = 6-8 times the compiling performance. I was quite impressed as how fast the RK3588 is.
- 4gotunameagain 3y agoBut are they running mainstream kernel or some weird patched one which means at one point they will stop providing updates? nvm I just saw it supports debian
- megous 3y agoNot mainline yet.
- elabajaba 3y agoIt's running a weird unsupported kernel, though iirc mainline 6.3 mostly works now (just don't expect hardware video encode or decode to work anytime soon, if ever on a rockchip soc running Linux)
- megous 3y agoWhy not? Video decode acceleration works fine in mainline Linux on other Rockchip SoCs. This one will likely not be very different. And there's already AV1 decoder driver posted for inclusion mainline (so the work is happening): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ab2b13e31e1af52ae52b0678b0abd5dd9d616e8a.camel@collabora.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ab2b13e31e1af52ae52b0678b0abd5d...
- magicalhippo 3y ago> The MSRP is a little higher than RPi4 If by a little you mean about twice. I'm sure the Orange Pi 5 is a lot more powerful, but it's reflected in the price.
- kornhole 3y agoI have been running Armbian on a 5 as home server for some time with a ton of services. It has performed impressively well with 2TB NVME and additional 8TB of drives I have connected. It is a relatively powerful home server with low cost, power, and price.
