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.
Nobody needs that GPU. Alyssa Rosenzweig stopped working on the driver and got poached by Valve.
Also, real time encoding with VP8 (yes, that is the standard for WebRTC) barely works. It has barely enough CPU power to produce a working demo, but too little to actually do anything with it.
Can you expand on this? Is the hardware too slow, too power hungry, or just badly supported? At least coming from ARM there must be some hardware documentation on how they work. I mean, it can't be worse than Broadcom's all-proprietary GPUs.
In fact, she just no longer leads panfrost, but still reviews panfrost-related merge requests from time to time. Boris took over her place, and even panvk2 is on its way. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bbrezillon
Mali-G610MP4 is known to handle Genshin impact easily. (https://youtu.be/sA55S2Z7gLo?t=56) I doubt VideoCore VII can do that. As of today, there is still no detailed spec sheet for this GPU.
