Orange Pi has introduced the Orange Pi 6 Plus, a single-board computer intended for high-performance and AI-oriented computing tasks. It uses the CIX CD8180/CD8160 SoC with a 12-core 64-bit CPU and an NPU rated at up to 45 TOPS. The SoC includes a 12-core architecture paired with an integrated graphics processor supporting hardware-accelerated ray tracing and 8K video decoding. While…
Orange Pi makes some cool stuff. It’s nice to see them at it again.
And this feels like leaning into their strengths - great power for the price in a small form factor.
I found Orange Pi boards just okay as alternate Raspberry Pi boards, because many precompiled Pi projects aren’t compatible.
But when I’m building my own thing on a Linux base, Orange Pi is a fantastic option - generally great hardware for the price, and a solid ecosystem of Linux base images (for a very affordable board, anyway.)
