Single-board pc maker Orange Pi has introduced a brand new entry in its Raspberry Pi-inspired Orange Pi 5 household, the Orange Pi 5 Extremely — packing an eight-core processor, six tera-operations per second (TOPS) neural coprocessor, and as much as 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
“Orange Pi 5 Extremely is compact, measuring solely 89×57mm [around 3.5×2.24″], and highly effective sufficient to be broadly utilized in high-end tablets, edge computing, synthetic intelligence, cloud computing, AR/VR [Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality], sensible safety, sensible residence, and so forth., overlaying varied industries of AIoT [Artificial Intelligence of Things],” the corporate claims of its newest launch. “Orange Pi 5 Extremely helps Orange Pi OS, the official working system developed by Orange Pi, in addition to Ubuntu, Android 13, Debian, and different working programs.”

Designed as a higher-end successor to the Orange PI 5 Max, the Orange Pi 5 Extremely, dropped at our consideration by Linux Gizmos, is powered by the Rockchip RK3588 system-on-chip, giving it 4 high-performance Arm Cortex-A76 cores operating at as much as 2.4GHz and 4 lower-power Cortex-A55 cores operating at as much as 1.8GHz plus Arm’s NEON acceleration engine. There’s additionally an on-chip Arm Mali-G610 graphics processor, a neural coprocessor for on-device machine studying and edge synthetic intelligence (ML and edge AI) delivering six tera-operations per second at its minimal INT4 precision.
To this, Orange Pi has added a Raspberry Pi-style board, which provides the customer’s selection of 4GB, 8GB, or 16GB of LPDDR5 reminiscence, optionally available 32GB-256GB eMMC storage, and brings out two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 Kind-A ports, one HDMI 2.1 8k60 output and one HDMI 2.0 4k60 enter, a four-lane MIPI Show Serial Interface (DSI), two four-lane Digicam Serial Interfaces (CSIs) and a MIPI D-PHY obtain port, analog audio, and a 2.5-gigabit-Ethernet port that joins an on-board Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 with Bluetooth Low Vitality (BLE) module for connectivity.

Unsurprisingly the board additionally features a 40-pin 0.1″ general-purpose enter/output (GPIO) header, styled after the one on the high of Raspberry Pi boards. Just like the Raspberry Pi 5, the Orange Pi 5 Extremely takes a 5V 5A energy provide over a USB Kind-C enter — and, additionally just like the Raspberry Pi 5, the board contains PCI Specific connectivity, although it is introduced out to a regular M.2 M-key slot on the underside and helps 4 lanes of quicker PCI Specific Gen. 3 connectivity in comparison with its rival’s single lane of PCI Specific Gen. 2.
The Orange Pi 5 Extremely is on the market to order from the corporate’s official AliExpress retailer, priced at $125 earlier than transport with 16GB of RAM and with no eMMC; pricing for the 4GB and 8GB variants had not been introduced on the time of writing. Further info is on the market on the Orange Pi web site.
