Key Takeaways
- Overall scores are nearly identical: 1291 vs 1310 (single core), 6568 vs 6615 (multi-core).
- Your run outperforms in some multi-core subtests (File Compression, Photo Library, Object Remover, HDR).
- Geekbench Browser run is stronger in text-heavy and rendering tasks (Text Processing, HTML5 Browser, PDF Renderer, Clang Compile).
- Differences are small and likely due to system load, thermal conditions, or minor OS variations.
This is great, but i have a Orange Pi 5 Max almost a year and still there is only first versions of few images for that board and few beta on some forums. So support for that is like zero after board is released.
From my checking, the Orange Pi 5 Max supports around 3-4 distributions. There’s often a delay for new images after hardware release, but the popular RK3588 SoC has solid support. You can always upgrade your existing distribution and install a newer kernel with the latest packages. You can always switch to an RP5 that has less powerful hardware but comes with better software support.
I think this is BS, no announcements form the Orange PI, nothing on the forums.
I would definitely buy this with 32GB or 64GB, now that would be a decent platform
It’s not ready yet, but the news is reliable, and the company has also shared some updates about it.
Well, if they truly on this, this will be a great SBC, I would buy one immediately.
This should be marketed using like 5$ vouchers in ARACE, OrangePI would immediately gauge the interest and get some early revenue o produce the board
