To write this article without mentioning the 3588, is like writing about Venezuela without mentioning oil.
Pi 5 and N150 are completely meaningless since before they came into existence.
Also the price of 3588 increases by batch so you can still get them at almost launch price (4GB was $70 now $110, next batch probably ~$150 by now if nothing improves)
- areoform 9mo agoCould you please provide a link? I don't know what 3588 is. It seems to be, Rockchip RK3588?
- bullen 9mo agoYes, you have to google it yourself, there are too many with pros and cons beyond a hn comment.
- toast0 9mo agoGoogle gives me this for 3588 https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/3/8/381-international-harvester-3588.html https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/3/8/381-intern... I guess giving up a life of computing and starting a life of vintage tractorring is pretty compelling, but I don't think they're making new batches of 1981 tractors; but who knows what VW is up to these days. OTOH, DuckDuckGo gave me California tax forms. No thanks!
- Youden 9mo agoIf you search "pi n150 3588" (without the quotes), Kagi, Google and DuckDuckGo all make it clear that "3588" means "RK3588" or "Rockchip RK3588". Back in the old days we didn't have all these AI things and personalization to predict our intent, we had to put context in our queries :)
- areoform 9mo agoYes, but they seem to be talking about a specific product? "(4GB was $70 now $110, next batch probably ~$150 by now if nothing improves)" I think it's reasonable to ask, what's $70, now $110 and $150? If you're quoting specific numbers for a specific product that you're claiming should be in the thread and then you refuse to link it...
- BenjiWiebe 9mo agoThe Orange Pi 5 (RK3588 processor) with 4GB RAM is $103 on Amazon. Don't know if that's what GP is talking about though. Too bad they didn't specify a model.
- dahrkael 9mo agorockchip may have lots of raw power but software compatibility vs a N150 is very low
- broadsidepicnic 9mo agoAre rockchip finally providing upstream support?
- bullen 9mo agoIt's still flakey, but with the open panthor driver things are working well. It's usable as is. By the time linux catches up hardware might be very expensive or missing completely. So my thinking is buy now, use as is, and maybe later we get better software... The point is the 3588 can actually replace my X86 desktop for ALL purposes except Unity/Unreal which I am glad to not run.
