<Kanken> what do you guys think about the orange pi 5?
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> for the price, it seems like a much better value than the previous opi4, which was more expensive for worse specs
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> as usual software support is going to be the most annoying part of buying orange pi
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> but that 8 core SOC with this mali G610 GPU is tempting me
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> finally, a gpu that's not 5 or so years old and way underpowered...
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> the fact that it isn't supported by panfrost yet is also going to be a big hit to compatibility...
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> but it seems like they've focused their efforts on this new architecture so we might get a driver soon-ish 🤔
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> the RK3588S is a no sell for me
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> not having the pci-e/m.2 makes any of them not worth it for me
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> I am really enjoying having nvme and bt/wifi via those on my test board
Armbian-Discord has quit [Remote host closed the connection]

<marcone> I was sad to learn that Radxa removed the M.2 slot from later revisions of the 4C+
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> the orange pi 5 has a m.2 slot on the bottom
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> M key, for an SSD
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> but yeah, no PCIE broken out
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> @Kanken it was just announced... it hadn't been announced when I posted that
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> It had, my message was referring to the opi5
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> Right here
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> Or at least it was on their telegram
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> it was annouced today (orange pi 5) i commented about 3588s earlier than the announcement...
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> It seems decent so i'm still pondering on whether or not to get one
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> same here
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> the nvme type is the only ponder
<Armbian-Discord>
<Kanken> The early bid offer will last for a little longer so i have time to think
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> only one I dont have like 5 of
<Armbian-Discord>
<Tenkawa> heheh
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> Couldn't resist, ordered an OPI 5
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> 🙂
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> And a 2nd OPI 3 LTS, since I'm already there.
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> next time call me before you go shopping 🙂
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> lol, do we have actually have samples for these?
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> as in free ones?
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> or you meant, for moral support?
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> lol
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> we receive some, yes
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> heh, should have asked then
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> I will next time
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> I bet I could cancel my order, actually for the OPI 5
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> not that its overflow, but i might have some spare
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> i only order 3 minutes ago
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> not have opi 5 yet
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> ah, ok
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> I need to work on my SBC power delivery build this weekend. Hard to make progress with such a busy work week, but doing a little bit at a time and keeping it simple helps.
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> Talked about it in #off-topic , last night - mainly, I just need to get rid of having a million power bricks - and want an "easy" little-bit-at-a-time EE hobby project
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> yeah, time is always an issue
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> yeah, I'm hoping at DuploCloud I can retire early if we keep succeeding like we are
<Armbian-Discord>
<IgorPec> my wife reminded me today that i am 22/24 on the computer 🙂
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> lol
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> yeah, this is how it is with me too
<Armbian-Discord>
<joekhoobyar> or I'm in the basement soldering crap or 3d printing
