With regards to your sysbench results on Debian and Ubuntu I think you will find that the file /etc/default/cpufrequtils is limiting the max frequency to 1296000 when the board is capable of 1800000. With that one change my sysbench result was 6.7982s. The OPi OS image appears use the 1.8GHz frequency without any changes.

It might be worth retesting the Opi3b as a desktop now because Joshua Riek's Ubuntu 24.04 was released for it (with hardware video acceleration).
@TingFeng77 Says:
heads up! I noticed that the Orange Pi 3B received a major hardware revision
If you visit their website, you will see the revision has changed from 1.1 to 2.1
Notable changes include the M.2 port turning into a 2280 port and a different wifi chip, as well the board size changed resulting in old cases being incompatible

I don't understand. I have a manufacturer saying he can sell me these for 10 cents a piece in volume. How skeptical should I be? He's a trusted manufacturer with trade assurances. I don't understand enough to know how I could be talented advantage of with a working product.

Browan Helium box also use rk3566 . so any review ?

I always watch this guys videos on 1.5x speed, just so he talks at a normal rate :) No seriously....thanks for your vids theyre very informative and great content. Just that small constructive criticism :)
@juriom7023 Says:
the same sysbench command on my rpi3b+ generated a time amount of around 109 seconds, though (debian 11)

Can you please provide the link to purchase the ORANGE PI + 32Gb MMC and another link for the USB / m2 lexar adapter?

Hi Chris, i just wanted to mention, i just got my Orange PI Zero 2W, Zero 3 and Orange PI 3B, and to enable the gpu on all of them it seems to be the same, on the official Debian image run "sudo orangepi-config", then on system->hardware enable the gpu item and reboot, after that the Mali shows up in glxinfo.

In general, do you guys prefer Debian or Ubuntu for desktop use,? Considering SBCs like the Orange Pi 3B
@sigmaroll9802 Says:
How can I use this for communication like sip or xmpp?
@ianhollis51 Says:
Hello Chris. I thought I’d let you know on this video that I splashed out on an Orange Pi 3B 8GB with 256 EMMC flash storage. If all goes well this will turn my Pi-Top [3] laptop into a very useful (perhaps fully functional) regular laptop with 13” screen and WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. This will save me many, many mor dollars by not having to buy a new laptop. And, I’ll get more familiar with Linux and open source software into the bargain. Just the ticket for a retired brain. 😁
@ricardovasc Says:
Have you tested with the Armbian operating system?
@kaastrup1971 Says:
Hi there - I bought the Orange PI 3B with 64GB eMMC in the hope that I cloud install Home Assistant on the eMMC module. I have installed the official Arch linux dist from the Orange website, and then I hoped to use Balena Etcher to write the HAOS image to the eMMC module via URL.
But somehow I can not execute Balena after downloading it on the Orange Pi ?!?!?!?
Can some one help me on the process for installing HAOS on this SBC ????
@Quemedices684 Says:
M.2 it’s essential for any serious application, more than any cpu speed increase. But should be well built, remaining under the sbc
@carlgustav7196 Says:
I strongly recommend NOT to buy anything of this company ( orange pi ).
Their documentation is a mess and their Linux versions are only supported for a matter of months.
And even if you are happy with an aged os version, it could be difficult to download one from their „official“ servers.
Most of the rom images are distributed by private/free google drive accounts which saturate their monthly available transfer quota quite quickly.
A total mess.
@deety1964 Says:
Hello. I'm trying to follow along with this video but I can't find a suitable emmc to usb/micro sd adaptor anywhere that doesn't seem to be for a specific device, or require soldering. Could you possibly put a link somewhere for this? As you can tell I am new to emmc.
@zavier6362 Says:
How is the network performance? I remember the old Orange Pi+ being pretty spotty. I was looking forward to this to replace my 3B+ (which is sadly limited by its USB2 bus speed). The storage options here is tempting but disappointing to hear about the underperforming chip.

do orange pi's include heatsinks or is that something bought seperate?

Wouldn't it be nice to test IOPS as well?
@minduton Says:
Those mini boards are very interesting, but I think, the usefullness is very limited, compared to its price. You can buy, for example, an used HP T520 thin client for 15 USD. Much more music for less money. And it is on x86-64 basis.
@worldgate989 Says:
I'm kinda over the whole SBC revolution. I have a 8gig rpi 4 and i plan to use it for a car computer because i dont really need it for anything else.
@lungfamilyus Says:
A lot of potential but the OS is not mature enough.
@goku445 Says:
Nice video but I wish you had tested the networking performance as well: Ethernet and Wifi.
@prozacgodretro Says:
The EDP port is kinda exciting, I have some old laptops that won't boot for various reasons - I think a couple may use EDP displays ... I smell a cool project in my future!

@matneu27 Says:
Is there a difference between running the OS from emmc or SD card( in case of Raspberry Pi) in terms of responsibility and long lasting of the media?

Interesting video. Given your conclusion at the end, I ask: If the software on the RockPC shows better results with the same SOC...; Have you tried installing the ROCK-OS on the Orange board?
It will probably needs [quite] some tweaking, but it might also be a step forward .
@romanrm1 Says:
Such a missed opportunity to not rotate the M2 slot and support the 2280 SSDs. I have a number of those at hand already, and wouldn't want to chase some 2230 or 2242 ones to use specifically on this board.
@Soruk42 Says:
Can its Gigabit ethernet port actually fill a gigabit link? Reason I ask is the RasPi3B+ has gigabit, but it's connected via the USB2 interface of the CPU so could never actually fill a gigabit pipie (though of course it is better than 100Mbps)
@Oneil974 Says:
Nice video! I noticed you didn't talk about the ADC pins available that are not present on other boards. It could be very useful instead of using another arduino, ESP, HAT, etc. There are some good and bad things but I think it could be a good low cost alternative (to raspberry pi) for my handled gaming console project, based on chromium but I need GPU hardware support. Could you make a webgl test on a short video? Thanks for all your works and good explanations

Orange Pi has been a life saver. RPi supply was hard to get even before the coof in my third world country. But OPi was in stock with local suppliers.

@blender_wiki Says:
I am a fan of the educative side of your channel
, however i am sorry to say this but, this video have many errors and benchmarking workflow bad practice.
Things can be better or worst than what you shown here, but you can't test things like this for this kind of board.
Btw for more serious application than a browser, the m2 slot is working with the coral m.2 TPU is working without many trouble.
@DE-GEN-ART Says:
an active heat sync is a must for these SBC's especially if you plan to over clock. i dont know why its sold separately besides maybe cost cutting
