Shenzhen Xunlong has launched its first Rockchip based Orange Pi single-board computer with the $109 Orange Pi RK3399.

The Rockchip RK3399 features two Cortex-A72 cores that are here clocked to up to 2.0GHz, as well as four Cortex-A53 cores, which on other RK3399 boards are typically clocked at up to 1.42GHz. There’s also a high-end ARM Mali-T864 GPU. Other RK3399 SBCs include Firefly’s Firefly-RK3399 and similarly open source Rockchip RK3399 Sapphire, as well as the Videostrong VS-RD-RK3399, but the Orange Pi SBC is the most affordable of the lot.

The Orange Pi RK3399 is also the only one of these SBCs with mSATA, and you can have dual mSATA drives if you dedicate the mini-PCIe slot to mSATA instead of LTE. The SBC stands out with its sensor array, which includes a Gyro, G-Sensor, Compass, HALL sensor, and light sensor.

One reason for the lower price is that you’re limited to 2GB of DDR3 compared to the 4GB LPDDR3 on the Sapphire and the up to 4GB DDR3 on the Firefly. You also get 16GB eMMC instead of 8GB on the Sapphire and 16GB or 32GB on the Firefly.
