A new competitor to the famous Raspberry Pi emerged, the Orange Pi family . And they not only seem to be really powerful and cheap little bastards but are also equipped with a lot of features that make them interesting not only for programming and learning about computers but for everyday work and small, really energy efficient servers. And they are completely Open Source in contrast to the Raspberry Pi.

These computers are completely produced in China, so the only way to get them at the moment is over the official Orange Pi store on AliExpress .

I can really recommend to watch this video from EEVblog where Dave is comparing the smallest version “Orange Pi One” to the “Raspberry Pi 2” and does all sorts of tests assessing their power: EEVblog #883 – Orange Pi One vs Raspberry Pi 2 And while you are at it, subscribe to the EEVblog channel , i never saw a video there that was not interesting!

The Orange Pi is available in a confusing variety of versions but since the official website has no real comparison chart or anything i made my own just to be able to compare the damn things that only differ in details. I also tried to rewrite confusing information, so the informations provided here could differ from the manufacturers page.

Please note that i decided to stop doing this list. Orange Pi is bringing out more and more confusing new models and i can not keep up with that.

BR, Yuriy Reply Shine says: 25.11.2017 (November 25) at 22:34 please send it to me on telegram (t.me/giorgioshine) Reply RedFox says: 25.04.2018 (April 25) at 13:43 OK. I just find your answer and can see some new boards for OrangiPI now. I think I need to update file first and then send (if it is actual). OK? Reply
