Furthermore, we are absolutely delighted to announce the upcoming release of the Orange Pi 5 Pro board, currently in the developmental stage. This extraordinary board promises to provide unmatched performance, while also delivering exceptional value for your investment. Get ready to experience a new era of computing excellence!
Here’s what we know.
Designed with a focus on delivering high performance in a compact package. It is built around the powerful Rockchip RK3588S 8-core 64-bit processor, which ensures smooth operation and efficient processing. This makes it an ideal choice for various applications, from home automation and robotics to server clustering and coding education.
It is expected that it will have a small form factor similar to the Raspberry Pi 5 board. However, what sets it apart is its affordability, making it a more cost-effective solution compared to the Pi.
Highlighting the key points
Based on the CAD PCB layout drawing, the board will boast an impressive array of features. Connectivity will never be a problem with a generous total of four USB ports, one 1GbE, two HDMI ports, and a dedicated on-board USB interface.
The board will feature two camera interfaces, as well as an LCD interface. Additionally, it offers a detachable and replaceable eMMC module, enabling hassle-free and personalized storage solutions. Furthermore, the board boasts an M.2 2280 socket, integrated Wi-Fi chip, SPI storage, and even supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality through a 4-pin header.

Compatibility
The Orange Pi 5 Pro offers an extensive selection of customization and expansion possibilities to users. Moreover, its compatibility with previous Orange Pi 5 boards allows for seamless integration with existing software, ensuring that users can make the most of the wide array of images and applications already developed for those boards.
Higher processing capability compared to the Raspberry Pi 5
The Raspberry 5 processor uses a Cortex-A76 with a frequency of 2.4GHz, this is an improvement over the Cortex-A72 with a frequency of 1.8GHz that was before. There’s also a new Southbridge that improves USB 3 timing and a VideoCore VII GPU that runs at 800MHz versus 600MHz with the outgoing VideoCore VI.
The new board includes an exclusive fan connector with sturdy fixing holes, along with a dual and accelerated camera connector, as well as a Micro SD slot that offers enhanced bandwidth.
An enhanced CPU for increased speed
The Raspberry 5 comes with a powerful quad-core ARM Cortex-A76 configuration. Nevertheless, the Orange Pi 5 RK3588S takes it to the next level with an impressive Octa-core setup. Not only does it include four high-performance ARM Cortex-A76 cores, but it also incorporates additional four efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores. As a result, you can anticipate the Orange Pi 5 to operate significantly faster than the Pi 5.
It should also be noted that the Orange Pi 5 Pro hardware surpasses the Raspberry Pi 5 in most important benchmarks, especially in video encoding tasks. Furthermore, this hardware boasts the ability to effortlessly handle 8K video playback at 60 frames per second, surpassing the Pi 5’s capability of only supporting 4K at 60fps. Moreover, its flawless hardware setup provides improved RAM and storage capabilities at a comparatively affordable price.
Good Bang for the buck
The Orange Pi 5 Pro is a highly affordable alternative to the Raspberry Pi 5, offering improved performance and functionality at a lower price. It is a great option for those looking for a budget-friendly solution that doesn’t sacrifice quality or performance.
Price and availability
We will keep you informed with the latest information, including official specifications and prices, as soon as they are released. According to sources within the company, the 4G RAM model will have a starting price of $60, which is considered to be very cost-effective.
