New device. ORANGE PI, Small snip from article
A Mali G510 MP4 graphics processor, "which has open-source driver hope via the Panfrost driver stack."
Four different versions with 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB of RAM using LPDDR4 or LPDDR4X. "The Orange Pi 4GB retails for ~$88, the Orange Pi 5 8GB version retails for $108, and the Orange Pi 5 16GB version retails for $138, while as of writing the 32GB version wasn't in stock."

Makes the Pi4 look cheap 🤣

Amazon UK price for this £420.00 🤯

Looks a nice bit of kit, but I think I will hold out for a Pi5

I have a Orange Pi 5, 16GB ram with a 2TB NVME drive, runs on proxmox and has a couple of VM's and linux containers running (including node-red), doesn't break a sweat. fantastic kit, saves me a bunch of powerhungry watts of my (currently turned off) NAS.

It runs on [Proxmox](https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve), hypervisor for VM's and linux containers (LXC), that is like docker but then for OS-es.
