Orange Pi PC2
Orange pi pc2, designed by Shenzhen Xunlong Software CO., Limited offers new and improved hardware specs compared to the previous generation All Winner H3 SoC series. This single-board computer is equipped with an Allwinner H5-bit Quad-core Processor. On paper, it can support 4K@60fps but because it comes with the HDMI 1.4 interface, it’s actually limited to 4K@30fps. Nerveless, the board comes with a newer generation ARM Cortex-A53 64Bit processor and its onboard 8MB NOR flash.
The board features a more powerful GPU, with a six-cores Mali-450 MP4 that should provide improved processing power when running 3D applications, running games, and playing video files sampled in 1080P up to 2K with the KODI Media Player Software. That being said, The Orange Pi PC2 is available at AliExpress for $19.98. More information can be found on Orange Pi PC2 product page.
