Rockchip RK3588-powered Orange Pi 5 Max SBC features up to 16GB LPDDR5, 2.5GbE, onboard WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3

Initially teased at the Orange Pi Developer Conference earlier this year, the Orange Pi 5 Max SBC powered by a Rockchip RK3588 SoC is now available on Amazon and Aliexpress for $95 and up with 8GB or 16GB LPDDR5, and support for eMMC flash modules or soldered on eMMC flash. A 4GB RAM version is also planned for $75.

The Orange Pi 5 Max is basically a cost-down version of the Orange Pi 5 Plus with fewer interfaces (e.g. 1x 2.5GbE vs 2x 2.5GbE, no HDMI input, etc..), higher bandwidth LPDDR5 memory, onboard WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, and a smaller form factor between Pico-ITX and credit card size.
