Only 8GiB of RAM again. Why does no-one except BananaPi offer 16 or even 32GiB? With these SoMs becoming more and more powerful, they are ideal hardware for homelabs and when it comes to containers, especially when using Kubernetes, 8GiB is too little.
I would rather blame the software for being that memory hungry. Also, why are these mini/micro computers are so fixated on Linux and not BSDs? I guess it's "just" a skill issue. FreeBSD jails would be more economical with memory probably...
If you don't fit into 8GB, it's also worth considering, whether it's good idea to put so many services on the same device, from a reliability perspective. Is it not a problem to have a single point of failure??
Hi, it seems their Debian OS is better optimized than the one of Friendlyelec (or is it the CPU ?), because on a NanoPC-T6 (RK3588) the stress-ng command only reflects a bogo ops of 1222, although a RPi 4 w/ 8 GB RAM displays 2344, quite odd :/). The sysbench test results are more consistent with my machines (laptop w/ intel i3, NanoPC-T6 & RPi 4). Power consumption is very good. The datasheet of the RK3576 show amazing picture and video intrinsic features, I hope some apps will soon take advantage of all these.
The TK3576 is Rockchip's desperate attempt to get past the debacle of the RK3588 that still won't be ready for all round use for many months. It will be great in Android TV boxes because of the better GPU/VPU support.
Looks like a copy of an Octavo product - just not as well integrated. Octavo creates a true SIP (system in package) where the CPU, memory, power dies are integrated together into a single package. This solution is like a compute module that gets soldered in place. The main difference being this solutions is much larger then a SIP. On the plus side, it is probably faster then anything that Octavo creates. I designed an Octavo solution which only draws 0.5 W on idle -- so pros and cons.

100% agree
I'd love one with 90° sodimms, but then they tend to make the thing too large :(
Cm5 has option for 16gb ram

It is a System On Module (SOM).

2.6W idle is just insanely low for this much computation capability!
Why does the RK3688 take so long, last hope. For cheap and good arm computer
Watching this in 360p on my old PC 😼

Aha, unlike the RK3588, this SOC supports I3C and few others.
