Yes, and there are more advantages to the Orange Pi 5 SBCs:
- They have full size HDMI
- They have an m.2 connector
- They still have an audio jack
- They have more powerful performance cores
- They have low performance cores
- They have a 6 TOPS NPU
On the other hand, that cheap base model has no built-in wifi, but so you can add it in the m.2 slot.
For me, the Raspberry Pi 5 is quite disappointing.
But hey, the good thing is that maybe this will push more of the community to the RK3588(S) based boards.
opi5 16gb is about 130 usd, rpi5 is about 80 usd I think? You get twice the cores and RAM so I think they're comparable value. But it's sort of academic for me because rpi5 8GB is not in stock in Australia.
