Geekbench Benchmark Assessment
The RV2 emerges as an economical choice in the SBC/router category. Performance evaluations from the Geekbench benchmark reveal scores that are far from remarkable. Yet, as the adage goes, nothing in life comes without a cost; you ultimately receive what you invest in.

Comparing the Orange Pi RV2 and Raspberry Pi 5 Performance
The Orange Pi RV2 is a cool little device packed with an 8-core RISC-V processor and offers up to 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. It’s a pretty budget-friendly option that performs decently, especially if you’re looking to explore RISC-V stuff. But, it does have some downsides — like there’s not as much community support and it’s not as strong when it comes to graphics compared to the Raspberry Pi 5. It belongs to the lower-end segment of single board computers, so don’t expect it to handle gaming or play 4K videos smoothly like a $60 single-board computer could.
On the flip side, the Raspberry Pi 5 comes with a speedy 2.4GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 CPU and a VideoCore VII GPU. Plus, it has a solid support system and a lot of resources to help you out. This makes it a better pick if you need something that can handle tougher tasks and run graphics-heavy programs.
Ultimately, when making your decision between the two options, consider your project’s requirements and your budget. That being said, the RV2 board offers exceptional value for your money; it truly has it all, or almost all.
